I think it's important to demonstrate and reflect the things you would like to see in your community, and picking up litter is a great example of that. On my way to work on Thursday, I found a gull about to stick his head in a plastic bag. People watched, but didn't engage. I was late to work, but I was able to scare the gull off and clean the bag up. Just showing people how easy it is to take that step, especially in your own community, is important.

I made the swap from a liquid dish soap to bar dish soap and it was not difficult at all!  

Have you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.

I think a lot of businesses in town have started to use more eco-friendly straws and are starting to not offer straws unless asked for.  I use reusable straws at home and often gift them to friends and family, too. 

I bought a steel razor last night and am excited to ditch the plastic disposable razors.  The company I bought from even recycles the used blades for you.  :)
