Melanie Ordway

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

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

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.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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