Tamara Gruenhagen 4/30/2021 10:07 AMI am grateful for this Challenge as I learned a great deal about Mother Earth. I am using Bamboo products instead of plastic products whenever I can. Before this Challenge, I was unaware that plastic was manufactured from petroleum products. I promise to do better! -
