usually remember my cloth bags for the grocery store and I’m getting better remembering to take them in when I do other shopping.

Reflection QuestionAt Home Recycle Plastic BagsHas separating your plastic bags for recycling helped you identify how you might reduce how many you have? What are you doing differently now?

Linda Crear 2/12/2023 8:53 AMBy reducing my usage I don’t have much to recycle. -
Virginia Zaunbrecher 2/11/2023 8:36 AMVery happy with the Foreverware reusable containers from Wise Acre. I did learn that when ordering I should select to have the sides come in reusable containers too. Next step is to ask Heather's to start using Foreverware.

Virginia Zaunbrecher 2/08/2023 11:05 AMMy first attempt at getting rid of single use packaging for school snacks wasn't totally successful because my 3rd grader didn't reliably return the container. My mom had a few used carry out containers laying around, and now we're giving those a try. Paired with snacks from the bulk aisle, I think we might have a winner!

Reflection QuestionAt Home Ditch the Disposable Cleaning WipesHow have you modified your cleaning routine to make sure you aren't using disposable wipes? Are you satisfied with the results?
Jennifer Kennard 2/03/2023 1:06 PMI've put Swedish dishcloths in all the places we used to use disposable wipes (mainly under the bathroom and kitchen sinks). -
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?
Jennifer Kennard 2/03/2023 1:05 PMNot really. It just makes me feel less guilty about being an on-again, off-again flosser. :) -
Reflection QuestionPersonal Care Purchase Alternative ToothpasteCurrently, most of the packaging for toothpaste is plastic. What has been your experience using plastic-free toothpaste options? How can you advocate for more alternatives through your purchasing power and influence in community?
Jennifer Kennard 2/03/2023 1:04 PMThis is my first try at plastic-free toothpaste. If it works (if my dentist sees no change), I'll tell everyone about it. -
Mary Anne Larson 2/03/2023 12:03 PMMade a quart of greek yogurt today.-
Virginia Zaunbrecher 2/05/2023 9:19 AMYes! We're so lucky my Mom has been making yogurt for us (from milk in reusable glass bottles). It's delicious and has really cut down on our plastic waste.
