Rachel's actions
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Personal Care
Fresh as a Daisy
I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Lifestyle
Buy Only What I Need
I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
Personal Care
Brusha Brusha Brusha
I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.
Community
Keep My Community Clean
I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Buy Only What I NeedAs you have reduced your spending, what have you noticed about your 'health and safety' purchasing habits? How might this change your longer term purchasing decisions?
Rachel Courtney 7/17/2019 9:09 AMI've noticed that Art doesn't fall in to health and safety, which is fine because I have a stash of supplies that I need to use first and I have friends who are happy to share. :) -

Dawn McKenzie 7/09/2019 4:31 PMSo far I like my bamboo toothbrush better than the tooth powder, but I'll give myself at least the rest of the month to get used to it.

REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal Care Brusha Brusha BrushaWhat are the benefits of switching to bamboo toothbrushes? How would you implore others in your community to make this switch as well?
Rachel Courtney 7/07/2019 9:02 AMI found a nice pack of 4 toothbrushes which were wrapped in cardboard. So far so good. Interested to see how long they last. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Keep My Community CleanHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Rachel Courtney 7/02/2019 9:17 PMIt makes me feel proud of where I live because it looks nice. It also makes it safer for animals. -
Rachel Courtney 7/01/2019 8:32 AMI have been shopping at the Bubblery in Leavenworth since I moved here - they have bar soaps, bar shampoo and some amazing bar face soap. Plus deodorant in cardboard containers. I really love the products-
