    What did you find out about your plastic consumption by using the calculator? What did or didn't surprise you?

    This was surprising, and made me realizing that my food consumption habits drive a LOT of my plastic use.  Even though my usage was almost 17% lower than the U.S. average, seeing that rates similar to my plastic consumption could result in more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2038 makes me want to immediately find ways to reduce this!

    Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

    Other benefits include joy from nurturing, sharing herbs and veggies with friends and neighbors, and providing habitat for pollinators/other insects!

    Switching to a refillable soap has been very easy and I switched out the sponge for a brush with a replaceable head!
