Hale, Page, Diamond Lake - Minneapolis

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

By reducing my usage I don’t have much to recycle.

Very 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.

For anyone headed to HPDL's FrostFest tonight, don't forget to bring your reusable le utensils if you're planning to eat or drink!

My 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!

I've put Swedish dishcloths in all the places we used to use disposable wipes (mainly under the bathroom and kitchen sinks).

Not really. It just makes me feel less guilty about being an on-again, off-again flosser. :)

This is my first try at plastic-free toothpaste. If it works (if my dentist sees no change), I'll tell everyone about it.

Made a quart of greek yogurt today.

Getting ready for plastic free Feb by hitting the coop with my reusable jars and bags!
