    I had no idea there was plastic or plastic like materials in cosmetics until I read about it here.  Knew of some undesirable chemicals in them previously, and that was also a surprise and a good reason to change the type of cosmetics I use and I recommend to friends.

    This was a wonderful experience as I learned a wealth of information about Koala's.  Very happy I included this in my challenge.

    Beyond what does or doesn't come out of the tap at home, how do your choices affect freshwater locally and globally?

    Seems everything made, except organically, has plastics or pesticides in it all of which harms our fresh water supply.   Choosing organic foods and materials with zero plastic labeling will benefit us all and mother earth.
