this week, your challenge is to...
- recycle styrofoam.
- although you cannot recycle styrofoam on your own (in my city at least), you can bring it to a municipal garage and they will recycle it for you.
- in the city of kirkland, you can deposit your styrofoam here!
- if you are unsure about your city's regulations, give them a phone call!
- for example, your town should have an information page like this one!

this week, your challenge is to...
- reduce fast food.
- (something to think about): in one visit to a fast food restaurant, your food will be wrapped in paper, shoved in a plastic bag/paper sack that is filled with paper napkins, plastic straws, plastic utensils, and condiments wrapped in plastic...
- FAST FOOD IS THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO WASTE FLOATING IN THE OCEAN. (49%!!!)
