30 Day Zero Waste Challenge
Today’s challenge is all about getting out of your amazing zero waste house and reaching out to friends, co-workers, neighbors and community. You’ll be amazed at how many of the folks in your social circles have never thought about this stuff! Smile, stay positive and share your values. And don’t forget to get outside and plug into nature. Nature is rejuvenating.
