    How can you think outside the box (or bag!) when it comes to disposables?

    It really saves space in my kitchen and the food has a better taste when I store it in glass disposables in the fridge.

    How can you advocate for the importance of reducing packaging to the rest of your friends, family and larger community?

    Telling some of the benfits. For example, cutting costs by making compact products reduces costs in transportation and ecological foodprint. Also, buying product with biodegradable packaging.

    Instead of bringing plastics or disposable plates/glassses, we bring our coffee mugs.

    Reusing the notebooks and other materials from last school year instead of buying new ones.

    What did you and your family learn about environmental justice? What questions came up for you? What feelings?

    What else we can do, which simple changes can we do to take care of our environment. We learn that some states in Mexico have an environmental patrol, what can we do to implement this in our state N.L.

    What are some of the cases you could make to an employer for why switching to durable dishes and utensils is actually in their best interest as well?

    Save money and space in the kitchen.

    I have been advertising this challenge to work colleagues for consideration as a Plastic Free July activity for 2024. Great interactive webpage and I appreciate the team concept. Thank you to all the sponsors and content developers.

    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?

    No travel plans in July; however, I did sort thru my toiletries and travel size toiletries to donate and organize to limit future spending. I also purchased empty containers to re-fill from the larger containers to avoid travel size purchases. Baby steps!

    How easy was this swap for you? Did you have any concerns before making it?

    I've been buying refillable soap to fill my bottles. It's an easy switch and to me, cheaper in the long run.

      I agree! I make more of an effort to make sure every drop of soap is used.

    Why do you chew gum? What habits could replace and meet your reasons for chewing gum?

    I stopped chewing gum all together because of TMJ. It was getting too painful. So, I've switched to mints. So much easier and way less painful. :-)

      same here. No more sore jaws and the mints last longer.
