Jeanette V 2/03/2021 11:17 AMI'm having a hard time finding a good compostable floss system...I looked again at the store and didn't see reusable packaging. -
Jeanette V 1/31/2021 5:05 PMIt was harder than expected to find compostable floss. I looked at the Wedge and found some options, but it was hard to know if they were compostable - nothing was very clear. I got one option and will have to do some more asking the next time I'm at the Wedge. -
Reflection QuestionPersonal Care Switch to compostable flossFlossing is a hard habit to maintain for a lot of people! Does making your flossing routine more sustainable give you motivation to keep up this notoriously difficult habit?

Reflection QuestionAt Home Watch a DocumentaryWhich documentary did you choose to watch? What did you learn?
Jeanette V 1/29/2021 8:25 PMWe watched Plastic Wars to learn more. I learned more about the history of the plastics industry and the advertising that has led us all astray on how effective recycling is. -
Reflection QuestionAt Home Skip the Dryer SheetsHow difficult (or easy!) has it been for you to cut dryer sheets from your laundry routine?
Jeanette V 1/29/2021 8:23 PMIt was relatively easy to cut the dryer sheets since we had only been using 1/2 sheet to begin with. Now we just have one of those balls that helps reduce static that we put in the dryer. -
Jeanette V 1/29/2021 5:45 PMWe decided to just stop using dryer sheets. We had only been using 1/2 sheets to begin with, so it doesn't feel like much of a stretch to stop using them -
Jeanette V 1/26/2021 5:10 AMI need to look up yogurt recipes...and try it! -
Jeanette V 1/24/2021 4:39 PMWe started collecting our single use plastic from groceries, etc to see how much is accumulated over the challenge. Should be interesting!
