I actually found organic cotton pads, plastic free and biodegradable. Since I used a panty liner frequently for reasons other than menstrual flow I was leaving a large footprint of plastic behind. This solution was perfect for me and this challenge.

I want to start watching more media that involves climate change, the planet, etc. I didn't realize Disney Plus had a ton of documentaries on those topics. A goal for myself is to watch them once a week in exchange for other shows/movies.

Food is a big area in my life that uses a lot of plastic. I currently use reusable glass tupperware, but I am still using plastic ziplock bags. That is something I am looking to change before this challenge is over!

I haven't been able to post everyday. I used reusable mesh bags for produce in my shopping and recommend. Avoided plastic containers of lettuce. But there is so much in plastic like all the berries and locally grown MN lettuce. Feel like the grocers need to make some changes.

My iced latte came with a strawless lid which made avoiding the plastic straw incredibly easy! I have noticed more large coffee chains switching over to strawless lids for their iced drinks which is great to see.

Having a surplus of plastic bags is a helpful reminder to bring my reusable bags to the grocery store. It is also helpful to find additional uses for the plastic bags, like lining a trash can, so that the bags can get a second life.
