Liseth Romero-Martinez 8/01/2022 8:12 AMI went camping with friends, I told them we needed to go plastic free for this trip. We had 2 5-gallon water and filled our water bottles. We also brought our own utensils from home. The only thing we had in a plastic bottle was the coffee. For the oil, I used a glass container I had at home. Which I will save for my camping trip.-
Samantha Smith 8/01/2022 8:49 AMGood for you! It just takes one committed person to show others that it's possible. It's sad that people opt for plastic when camping since enjoying nature shouldn't also harm it in the process.

Bill Bain 7/31/2022 5:59 PMI was nin the grocery store yesterday watching a man getting his goods nand bagged them in his own recycled bags. It was then that I thought the stores & California should pay customers $0.10 for every bag used, just like your charged for grocery bags. -
