Over 1/2 way through the month! Looking to finish strong. I will have my re- usable cup with me at work this week and will work with others to use their own cup as well.

5 days in and I have had zero gum! I had stopped chewing gum back in 2015 and then about 6 months ago picked it back up, forgetting about the plastic component. This challenge has reminded me of this and I am looking to ditch gum again and anytime I may want it then picking an alternative that is part of a sustainable future.

  These are reusable. I had my last set for about a year. You can find them at local stores as well as on-line.
