    I just moved and had so much packing material. Instead of throwing it out, I gifted it through my local 'buy nothing' group. If you haven't found your 'buy nothing' group, I recommend you check it out! Its a great way to reduce waste and also save some money :)

    Hello team! This experience is always such a good reminder of how much plastic is around us and how hard it is to avoid! But it is a good challenge and makes me so much more conscious of my choices, and this year I am to keep up my actions well beyond July.
