Lorie Long

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

Write to Starbucks asking them to ask every single walk-in customer if their drink/food is for here or to go. If the customer intends to sit and drink there, serve them in a ceramic mug, plate or a glass with real silverware which can be washed instead of tossed. I picked this goal because I see SO many people sit in coffee houses and drink out of plastic then toss it. I chose Starbucks because they are so huge.
