    Do an inventory of your kitchen to see how many single-use plastics you've used in the past. What are some resuable alternatives to these commonly used products? What would your impact be if you switched all the single-use products from your inventory to reusable?

    Although I used plastic wrap, instead of throwing a sheet out, I reused it on another bowl.

    Other species can teach us important lessons about ourselves and life in general. What has your cat taught you?

    My cats teach me unconditional love.  They are excited every time I sit down & spend time with them.  The one whos’s most affectionate is Allura, a 9-year old Birmese whom I rescued last year.

    I drank coffee from a Tervis mug, water from a reusable bottle, used 4 stylish grocery bags when shopping & recycled a plastic cup w/lid.  When dining out (Lin’s), the restaurant used silverware & dishes to serve the food.  It was delicious!
