Will never forget this amazing woman on the boardwalk who collected used t-shirts and then cut and tied them into no-sew tote bags to hand out for free. Why? So that tourists could pick out designs they loved and use fewer plastic bags near our beloved ocean. 🌊
To the person who crafted this amazing gift for a stranger: Wow! We have never seen anything so special in a Little Free Library. A surprise book with a tea bag and a new bookmark and beautiful wrapping--this is going to make someone's day!
Yes! Peas on the grocery store shelf in compostable packaging! Can we please see this ASAP for all produce? If your favorite fresh foods are still coming in plastic, please consider taking a moment to email the distributor to ask them why. So far we have received some hopeful responses that indicate the industry is changing... #zerowaste

Wouldn't it be great if every neighborhood had fresh food growing for anyone and everyone? Love this Community Solidarity Garden Plot in Fredericksburg, VA! "Need a veggie? Take a veggie!" Thank you @downtown_greens 🌱👍
Check out the newest free printable on our website! Booklets full of thank you cards for children to cut, color, write, and deliver to the people they interact with at school and in the community. Let’s encourage kids to share their appreciation in the moment! Back cover also includes a chance for young people to show gratitude toward themselves.
