Community
Keep My Community Clean
I will pick up 20 piece(s) of litter each day.
Personal Care
Just Say No
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.
Community
Share My Actions
I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.
Food
Skip the Straw
I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Family
Provide the Alternatives
I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.
Food
Buy Unpackaged Produce
I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.
Pets
Invest in a Pooper-Scooper
I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Personal Care
That Was a Close Shave
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?
Personal Care
Pretty oh so Pretty
I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.
Lifestyle
Complete a Waste Audit
I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Skip the StrawHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
Suzanne Figley 7/06/2019 11:23 AMSeveral months ago Lucky's Market stopped ordering and supplying plastic straws to their employees and consumers. As a result, the stores have kept numerous plastic straws out of the landfill. There has been minimal complaints from the employees or consumers. One problem is that the paper straws we offer absorb liquids quickly, so if you are a slow drinker, they can get soggy and absorb the liquid. -
