In keeping with my goal of "WRITE LETTERS, EMAILS OR SIGN PETITIONS" I found a petition that wants the government to send all households in America a set of reusable cleaning products. I recently started purchasing reusable items from Grove for my cleaning products and I definitely noticed my recycling bin isn't as full after cleaning day like it used to be. https://chng.it/9RF5b479rq
