Christy Conklin

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will spend 2 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
