Tracy Lee 10/27/2016 3:40 PMThe eco challenge is rewarding in so many ways. I have made it a habit to not accept plastic shopping bags, resulting in bringing my own, or having to carry out the items bagless because I forgot to bring in my re-usable bag. Making me more aware the next time to bring my own.
