Hear from our new Sustainability Manager, Lindsey Nieratka , about how you can go plastic free this month! Take the challenge!

Eliminate plastic water bottles by drinking tap water and using reusable bottles. Use reusable totes and produce bags for your shopping. Save a straw and say "No thank you."
