Well we've reached a milestone here at the BBB challenge - over 25,000 bags, bottles and bulbs kept out of landfills! Give yourselves a big round of applause - you deserve it!
I also want to acknowledge all of your efforts to bring this challenge to other "one use" items in your lives such as plastic utensils, straws, cup lids and the like. Thank you for bringing this level of commitment to your lives and your communities.
Some of us here in Phoenix are approaching our favorite restaurants with requests to reduce "one use" items and encourage people to bring their own carryout or leftovers containers. I know this is common in other parts of the country, but it is a paradigm shift here in the Wild West. Stay tuned to see how we progress and feel free to add your own comments here on what you do when you go out to eat!
