I learned a lot and really enjoyed giving this a try.  I found actions that I have made habits - using my refillable water bottle, reusable bags at the store (even for produce!), skipping the straw, and I am using glass containers instead of plastic bags for food storage.  Lastly, I learned how to make some minor alterations to clothing so I can upcycle my own clothing or used clothing instead of buying new, and it is so much fun!  Thanks for the challenge - how did Maryland Zoo finish?

I've enjoyed the EcoChallenge and have made many changes in my everyday actions to help in making our earth more plastic free.

The end of the month signifies the beginning of regular changes to plastic use, starting with laundry.  No more big plastic bottles.  Need to cut back on plastic soda bottles, too.

This year was a little tougher to keep up with the challenge but still educational for me and gave me ideas of how to improve my efforts

I joined to learn more about reducing plastic uses and supporting my teammates of the best Zoo in the world!
