I don't think I learned much, except that my habits have changed. For instance, the few times that I got food out, I tried to not accept disposable plastics (straws, cutlery, etc.) or extra disposables of other material (such as paper/cardboard). It is easy to say "I'll just recycle it if I don't use it", but it really is better to...

I learned that there are things I can do to create a better world for all of us. I also learned that many of the changes for one person are a small improvement but if many make the change we've got a chance to make a big difference. Thanks to Hennepin Co. for doing the Challenge. Keep it up!

I hope to keep thinking and acting.  Is there a way to access the info that we got during the month - i.e the ideas about cleaners for one thing?

I want to thank Hennepin County for sponsoring this plastic-free challenge!  It has been very educational.  I feel a sense of pride and encouragement the county I live in has taken this step to engage the community to address this very serious problem.  

It has made me get up and do things I have been thinking about, but not gotten around to doing.

when I walk for exercise I have always picked up trash. I don't think I could walk anymore without picking it up . I don't understand how people can just throw trash on the ground and thinks it's ok.
