    Inspired by Erin's inquiry to me for an alternative toothbrush, I wanted to share with everyone that I use the green panda toothbrush, made entirely of bamboo including the bristles--which means it's biodegradable! I got mine at Whole Foods but it is also available online!

    I am so glad to have chosen "Connect with a Non-profit." In my search and outreach, I've discovered multiple non-profits I would love to work with!

    For the past few days, I have been in group settings where I feel more responsibility over leftover food! I think it has helped to bring extra containers to share with others...this particular challenge has me devising ways to reduce the length of my foodwaste log!

    I emailed Linda Alepin, a professor at SCU who is the co-founder of the Global Women's Leadership Network. GWLN is now a part of How Women Lead and I'll be following up with a new contact!

    I started a log in my planner! I hope the list of wasted food doesn't get long! It's motivating me to really plan ahead and keep a strict inventory of what's in my fridge and pantry...Since I'm going away for the weekend, I brought food to share in my workplace because I don't want the food to go bad!
