Emily Dickinson

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will keep 4 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will shop at a thrift store for previously owned clothing and household items.
