Mary Hammond 4/24/2019 4:38 AMThis eco challenge was a good one for me. I was able to learn more about food labels/food expiration dates - which will help me with better choices and less waste. I was also able to take my recycling efforts to the next level - by really looking at what I can recycle and/or reuse. -
