    My trash has increased so much since Far West Fibers has closed and won't recycle clam shell plastics. Someday my kid will be potty trained and we can go down to monthly trash pickup!

    OK, I may have a problem.  Pizza everyday for 5 days in a row.  Working rentals has pros/cons in the pizza department.

    Even with reusable bags in the car, or in my bag, I keep forgetting to say I don't need a bag when making purchases.  What's up brain?  I feel like I need to use the rubber band trick where you wear a rubber band on your wrist and every time you forget to not do something you're supposed to do you give yourself a nice little snap of that band.  It helped me quick picking my nose when I was 19.  Now, I only pick my nose 19 times a day. ;)

    If you have access to a blender...which is a privilege not everyone has at work, I know...a quick easy vegan meal in a jar is: organic protein powder, greens probiotic powder, vegan fiber powder, and 1/3 cup juice, 1/3 coconut milk, 1/3 cup filtered water.  I also like to blend in some veggies - especially greens: spinach, kale, and if you're feeling sinister - arugula and mustard greens.  That's a spicy green smoothie!  Not for the faint of heart.  Blend on the finest blend for 1- 2 minutes.  Add ice in the blend, or pour over ice and consume immediately.

    If anyone is looking for a quick easy vegan meal: Soy Sauce Ramen packet + 1 cup frozen veggies + 1 TB sesame oil + 1 TB peanut butter + 1 TB chili sauce.  If you're watching sodium skip the ramen spice packet, or just put in 1/2.  Spicy, warm, and cheap!  If you're vegetarian add 1 - 3 eggs for protein.  Come to SWCC sometime and I'll cook you a batch!

    Why is it so difficult to understand the impacts our purchases and waste have on other people, animals, and places? How might your experience with this challenge impact your future consumption and choices?

    It's so easy to forget about all the trash we create by dumping it into the can at the end of the week. Reducing is the most important of the 3 R's: reduce reuse recycle!
