I made it just under a year. Eleven months and 13 days, to be exact. I thought last year’s eco resolution was rock-solid: I’d spent the year boycotting Starbucks because of the toxic chemicals they use. (Oh, and I’d also managed to extend the Shop Drop Challenge through most of the year.) And then, it happened. Just when I was almost to the finish line, I blew my eco resolution.

Busted.
I hadn’t even realized that the kiosk was a Starbucks until I saw the familiar green logo on the cup. But after learning about their failure to cut conflict palm oil from the Starbucks supply chain (an action even McDonald’s has taken), I’m even more committed to a successful eco resolution for 2016.
Not only am I going for round two with my Starbucks boycott, I’m also going to kick off this year’s Shop Drop Challenge by pledging to buy 100% preloved fashion in 2016.
