    Repurposed hems of an old t-shirt and added them to one of Maxine's toys!

    I brought a full set of dishes for my vacation to cut back on my family vacation's waste.

    A great day today, used regular glasses and a pitcher for water at a meeting to day, nothing got thrown away at the end of the meeting!

    Went to Palisades State Park for the first time. I ended up picking up 77 pieces on trash just by walking two of their trails. It felt very good to know I was cleaning up the environment, so others would not have to see all the trash.

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

    I seem to see more people just decline straws. That is great.
