    Was this an easy or difficult swap for you to make? Did you have any concerns before making the swap?

    It was easy. I have enjoyed trying the different types of more eco-friendly detergents. They tend to be lightweight pods, powder, or sheets that have been convenient to use. I hate having to deal with the large, liquid detergent bottles.

    I love loose leaf tea and use it often. I have always enjoyed drinking it and trying out new blends and flavors. Loose leaf teas can be more flavorful, too!

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

    To freshen up my mouth when I can't brush. I could use mints or natural chewing gum that doesn't contain plastic.

    With the added mindfulness of reducing your packaging, what have you noticed about the amount and type of single use plastics used for packaging when you shop in the grocery store?

    I have noticed how much unnecessary packaging there is when shopping. I try to opt for as little packaging as possible, but it can sometimes be hard to avoid. I really don't like waste.

    What are the economic and personal benefits of switching to bar soap/shampoo/conditioner or refillable bottle options?

    Decreasing plastic consumption. It's also usually cheaper to just refill existing containers and much less wasteful. That makes me feel much better about my attempts to use less plastic. I also enjoy using bar soap and bar shampoos and conditioners. My daughter loves using them as well.

    What have you noticed about the economic and social impact of switching to steel razors? Was there ever really a need for disposable razors, or do you think it was just a way to sell more things?

    I think it's a convenience thing as well, but it's just as easy to purchase refills. The reusable razors are much better quality and less likely to cause cuts and irritation.
