Destinee Strickland

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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 use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.
