This "sprint" is already inspiring me to look for ways to work around all the individual plastic containers and wrappers. I love a certain brand of shortbread cookies/biscuits (I know... I should avoid sugar), and I have gotten the individually wrapped packages... but I thought about it, and couldn't order them - even though we have a local vendor that recycles them. Low waste doesn't mean no waste.

SHARE MY WHY: I am participating in this “sprint” for several reasons, but most importantly because, while we cannot restore our oceans to their former cleanliness or erase past waste, we can help repair the damage to our planet. By taking a stand, learning more, and making small changes, we can begin to make a difference.

Wasting less will help the future generations.

I want to help make our planet healthier and inspire future generations to care about sustainability.
