We had so much fun in Cheekwood a beautiful botanical garden when we were driving through Tennessee. There are many incredible sculptors made by Chihuly! Super cool and fun pumpkin photo booth to take pictures in as well.
We went in the night time too see all the lights in the sculptures lit up, but it’s awesome in the day time too. We have gone several times now, and it’s very nice getting out and taking a long walk with all the wonderful scenery. Totally recommend going here if you’re ever passing through Tennessee.
Everyone knows that plastic is a big problem these days. If we all play our roles in at least trying to reduce plastic, then things can be a lot better even if we do not completely get rid of it. Plastic is used with almost everything humans buy, and make, that is why we may not be able to avoid it, but we can reduce and reuse it. This is why I created these tips to help guide you on reducing plastic.
Bring your own glass water bottle when you are leaving the house instead of buying plastic ones.
Instead of being lazy with a plastic fork or spoon, pick up the wooden chopsticks and learn to use them if you don’t already know how to. Chopsticks aren’t just for sushi.
If you get an already prepared lunch, clean and save the container for storing food or leftovers.
With resealable bags, clean them out and use them for food or leftovers as well.
It’s totally worth it to walk the extra few steps to throw your recyclable plastic cup in the recycling.
Spend a couple extra dollars to buy shampoo, conditioner and laundry detergent that comes in metal or paper containers.
Below are some recommendations on companies and products that reduce plastic waste. Many of these can be found in stores too.
