Lorraine's actions
Food
Use Reusables at Work
I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.
Food
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
Food
Use a Reusable Mug / Collapsible Cup
I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Lifestyle
Travel Toiletries
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.
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?
Lifestyle
Natural Fibers
When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Create Your Own Action
I will make my own lotion and use reuseable containers
Making body lotion from scratch with edible products and storing in reusable glass containers eliminating the use of packaged lotions with harmful ingredients and plastic packaging.

REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Travel ToiletriesWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?
Lorraine Wilson 10/03/2019 11:53 AMI have actually moved away from shower gel and re-started using bar soaps. They are much easier to get through TSA, and since most of my trips are at least 9 hours long I have my soap to use to freshen up, without wondering how much is 3 ozs. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyle Natural FibersWhat are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?
Lorraine Wilson 10/03/2019 11:51 AMI am automatically drawn to natural fibers. I prefer, cotton, linens etc. as opposed to synthetic rayon etc., since the itch. If I select fabric that does contained synthetics, its usually from a responsible company who is using recycle material to create
"waterproof" items (Portland rain) etc. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use a Reusable Mug / Collapsible CupGreat job on getting rid of your disposable cup habit! How does it make you feel? What's next on your list to reduce your waste?
Lorraine Wilson 7/10/2019 3:15 PMI have always used a teacup at work. I also use a 40 oz metal water bottle at work. The reason for the water bottle is dual. It keeps plastic out of the landfill and also helps me achieve/measure my water intake each day. This is a benefit others should consider while saving this planet for each other. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Use Reusables at WorkIt is often true that we only have control over our own actions and not the collective community. How can you lead by example when it comes to switching disposables for reusable dishes in your community?
