    Last day of the challenge my friends! The lady at Walgreens gave me the "you are a weirdo" look when I requested no bag please. Then I had to explain the challenge...but honestly I would have said it even if I wasn't doing a challenge. Cashiers are surprisingly really insistent about giving you a plastic bag.

    Very much wanted a Dutch Bros today but didn't have a clean reusable with me....so I held off. It makes it feel like a reward when I actually remember to bring a clean empty cup with me!

    Very proud that during my weekly shopping trip to Winco that I actually brought enough reusable bags with me. And I bagged my own groceries so it wasn't a burden on the cashier :)

    Went shopping today with my reusable bags! go me!! Being diligent about the water conservation as well-this one is easy for me. Composting is going well and I just brought home a compost trouble shooting guide.

    All challenges completed yesterday. There was a gray line that I may have crossed on accepting a recyclable food tub for left over food from a restaurant. It wasn't Styrofoam though! My team is doing a great job and I am excited to see which habits stick with them after the challenge :)
