Vera Rhee 7/30/2023 8:01 PMI joined the eco-challenge to actively recycle more plastics and manage plastic waste. I learned much more and feel that I have just scratched the surface. Most importantly, my awareness of plastic consumption in the world has increased. I plan to continue to encourage others and educate my family and friends on the importance of recycling. -

Vera Rhee 7/26/2023 8:50 PMI shared the "Trash Timeline" of the decomposition rates for common items with my 11 year old grandson today. It was a harsh reminder on how long plastics, glass and banana peels can take to decompose. Of course times can vary depending on the condition. Let's keep the plastic free ecochallenge going!-

REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Vera Rhee 7/05/2023 6:04 PMPicking up litter shows the community that I care about containing trash that may have blown in the areas. Others may observe the actions and may also participate in cleaning the environment.

Deb Cook 7/22/2023 8:23 PMI agree. My action of simply picking up trash in the neighborhood motivates others to do the same! Lead by example....
