Virginia Aquarium Fam - Bam No Plastic Ma'am

What a fun month! Not only did we finish in 19th place overall, but we had a hugeeeee collective impact over the month of July and we shared TONS of fun advice and tips with each other. Thank you guys for being a part of this! Let's keep it going - what should our next challenge be?!

Welp, it's the last day of plastic free July and I don't have anything else witty to say since "Sandy says straws suck" is my magnum opus so instead I'll just say thank you guys for all the replies on my comments and stuff. I saw them all so sorry for never responding back, I don't like how my reply goes above the thing I was replying...

Super proud of our Watershed Warrior volunteers and staff that worked together to spread the word about plastic alternatives! We are all looking forward to our next Plastic Free challenge and excited to instill our new plastic free habits into our everyday lives.

Last day! Girls and I did our Sunday walk to the playground and picked up trash along the way. Even though the challenge is over, we will continue to work on keeping our community clean.

This has been a tough challenge, especially since I wasn’t home for 10 days of it. I have a better understanding of where I can make changes and will continue to work on this .

As I expected,the kitchen is where I have the most waste and plastic use. I am working on ways to limit my food and plastic waste .

I enjoy repurposing articles of clothing and finding new ways to wear them.

It was a little harder than I expected because we were traveling for several days. I did better with drinks than I did with food. I need to make sure I plan ahead better next time we travel.

I think it allows others to se what I am passionate about and to ask questions.

I have noticed that they are supportive and may pay closer attention to the products they are using.
