    Each day I remind my spouse to use the reusable bags and have placed bags in both cars to encourage their use! He actually does it!

    What is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?

    Currently most of the packaging for toothpaste is plastic. How can you advocate for more alternatives through your purchasing power and influence in community?
