Reduce & Reuse Highlights
I avoided using single-serve creamers for my coffee while camping!
We brought cans of soda and water for our hiking trip and brought plastic containers to keep our sandwiches in (unfortunately most of the food was originally in single-use plastic packaging)
We bought wood at the campground today and it was delivered without plastic packaging on it.
Single Use Plastics
I've gotten better at noticing the single use plastics that we don't think about or which have been removed from their original packaging, which makes me feel like I'm doing a worse job of avoiding single use plastics as the month goes on!
