I use exclusively reusable grocery bags. I TRY to remember my own reusable coffee mug when getting a coffee treat. I don't know what I can do about to-go containers, other than refuse until they change their packaging, which is hard to do when you smell that food cart...  I am on the lookout for a stainless straw also.

Promotion and availability of fresh produce is vital, especially in low-income regions where higher fat/lower nutritious food is typically available. Community gardens help too!

I'm still looking for a local source of bamboo drinking straws.

I would like to use the extra $ from food waste on feeding homeless persons.

Using the #NowMoreThanEver hashtag on several of the social media platforms I am on has resulted in multiple people sharing their thoughts and feelings about how important it is for girls around the world to get a good, quality education.  It has been a real stepping stone to getting the conversation started about a very important topic.

Access to voluntary, high-quality family planning around the world is a human right that has powerful positive impacts on the health, welfare, and life expectancy of both women and their children and is a key factor in reducing rates of poverty.  Lack of access to quality family planning and pregnancy services limits their ability to build a stable life and future for themselves and their families.  It's important to keep these services available to low-income women and families so they can build the kind of positive, productives lives they'd hoped for.
