Reflection of Module 5 and 6

The project that I am working on is to reduce the number of plastic bottles that I recycle/throw away by not using shampoo or conditioner. I started collecting data on how much shampoo and conditioner I actually use. Therefore making a prediction on how many bottles I go through. I have also identified other methods of cleansing and toning my hair.
I chose this as my project because I have new babies at home and I am thinking about all of the chemicals that are in my home.  Removing shampoo and conditioner can not only benefit me but also the environment, at least that is my hope.  I collected some data on how much shampoo and conditioner I use in each shower.  With-in the past week I ran out of both, and now I am using baking soda and water mixture to cleanse my hair.  I follow that up with an apple cider vinegar and water mixture for toning.  (I have been using the ACV and water mixture on my face as well.)  I am collecting data on how much baking soda and apple cider vinegar I am using.  
I hope that my hair agrees with the change.
