July 27 at 6:58 AMOne of the ways that I'm trying to reduce my plastic waste is skipping the plastic packaging for fruits and vegetables. I have some thin mesh bags that I use and I've been buying different kinds of food and shopping at different stores to eliminate plastic on my fruits and vegetables. I may try the year-round farmers' market too. I've been...

July 27 at 6:53 AMI've been paying attention to this since I read the question above. I live downtown in Wichita and many of my neighbors are poor. I see many of them using styrofoam containers, especially for drinks, because the food waste is less. They can also refill a drink and use the same ice. Many places have replaced styrofoam food containers with boxes...

July 27 at 6:26 AMI've found that even when I think I have nothing to eat, I can make a meal out of fruits and veggies, I don't need a plastic bag, I can just wash them and put them together in my lunch bag and cut them up at work and have a fruit bowl. I love it.

July 18 at 6:58 AMI failed this weekend at purchasing only what I need. School supply season is like Christmas for me! While I do not need another box of pens, I did add them to my cart. This challenge is a good reminder that I don't need extra stuff, even though it is less expensive during this time of year.

July 14 at 6:32 AMMaking true change is difficult. Sometimes I find myself accepting a plastic straw or ordering from a place I know uses styrofoam because that's easier. Recently, I asked for no straw and then had two in my bag. I struggle with the convenience of the drive-through. I know it is better for me and for the environment to get out of my car and...

July 4 at 11:37 AMI have networked with people in my neighborhood to trade herbs and vegetables in our gardens! This helps save everyone money while food prices continue to go up and strengthens friendships with neighbors!
