The reusable mug/water bottle has been the easiest part of this challenge for me so far. The hard part for me has been scheduling my annual checkup. With benefit decisions this month, I am hoping it will finally prompt me to get it done!

I love how easy they make being eco-friendly feel. I have always had an eye for these types of things, but for those for whom this may be new/daunting, this challenge makes it much more approachable.

Hey Randi. I couldn't figure out how to respond to you but I use reusable bags for produce as well. They are mesh and have a drawstring, somewhat similar to bags used in laundry for delicate garments (but small). I also sometimes just skip the bag since I will be washing the outside anyway; it doesn't matter if it touches the other things in the bags anyway.
