    Going Green Can Be a Challenge #SCJZeroWaste Win a $350 Giveaway

    December 4, 2015 - By 

    Going Green Can Be a Challenge I have to admit, I had big plans for our family going green when we started.

Don’t get me wrong, we’re really pretty good at recycling, but we still face some challenges. My kids are actually the best at recycling, because they grew up with the campaign on television and at school. My oldest daughter is vigilant…

In London, we…
