The Florida Aquarium

Recommended a refill station near their house!

It's makes me think about what is really necessary and what isn't. I will try harder to eliminate what I need and don't need.

Wonderful start to a plastic free day!

reduce waste for the planet

I didn't use any plastics. I drank beer from a glass, draft baby 👶

Happy day one of this year's challenge! Excited to see everyone's progress this year!

I have a utensil container than is compact and stays in my bag that I bring with me! I opted for compact and lightweight materials that don't feel like a burden to carry. It can be difficult to remember to repack the container in my bag when I wash the utensils, but I leave the clean items next to my bag to remember to pack everything together...

Bring a reusable cup or bottle everywhere i go, has become important. I always keep one in my car. Instead of buying a plastic bottle i can just grab that find a refill station

I'm a member of the SurfRider Foundation. They have an Ocean Friendly Restaurant initiative to support locations that do their part to be environmentally conscious as possible, from removing single-use plastics to sustainable ingredient chains. Our aquarium cafe easily hit all the requirements and is now a certified Ocean Friendly Restaurant!...

Starting day 1 with reflections on how to better: Illustrate the connectedness between human well-being and water/nature; Highlight our Aquarium's conservation priorities, but emphasize that we achieve more together; and Empower people to take action.​ Would love to hear everyone's suggestions!
