Leslee Jaeger 5/10/2021 7:28 PMI have only a small stash of disposable plastic bags and try to think twice before using them. Hoping to make my current bags last a long time by reusing them and washing -
Leslee Jaeger 5/09/2021 7:03 PMI hope that everyone has learned a few new recycling pointers over the past week. Please share with the team a recycling/reuse idea that you haven't seen highlighted yet. I recently purchased a few Norwex cleaning products (dusting mit, dusting wand and glass cleaner) so that I don't have to buy plastic bottles of cleaning product in the future. I put them to the test earlier this week and all did really well. Just a bit of water on the mit to catch dust but used the other 2 products dry. They are pricey but I estimate they will save $$ with time as I don't purchase cleaning dusting or glass cleaner. -

Lisa Neary 5/05/2021 9:05 AMAt Starbucks the other day (at Target, needed sustenance) and bought one of their sturdy reusable cups with top and straw for $3 and asked barista to fill that instead of using a throw-away cup. Now just keep it in my car with my reusable shopping bags so if I ever get a drink while shopping, no waste. -
