“Just over a year ago, my family was doing well with our plastic waste. We didn’t use plastic baggies or cling wrap, and we only bought water in bottles when we were traveling. We recycled everything that the blue bins would take, along with all the refundable cans/bottles. As far as keeping the earth clear of plastic, we were doing pretty. darn. good.”

A recap of one family’s experience trying to go plastic-free for one month.
