Food
Shop the Bulk Bins
I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

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.
Food
Make Your Own
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.

Jennie Janssen 7/07/2019 9:50 AMI started this one last year and have now been using bar shampoo and conditioner for a full year. Not missing the liquid stuff. And so much easier for traveling.

Laura Bankey 7/05/2019 5:36 AMTrying to shop from the bulk bins more - also trying to use my own containers so I don’t use the plastic bags the stores provide. I’m not going to lie - my recent experience at Sprouts in Towson was subpar.

Laura Bankey 7/03/2019 5:21 AMI don't own (or have access to a cow) so I need to buy milk. There is no completely plastic-free option that I know of. At least the returnable glass jug has a second (third, fourth, fifth....) life.

Jaime Webster 7/03/2019 10:45 AMI help out at Wilson's farm in Bel Air and they sell Keyes Creamery milk in these glass jugs - and even have chocolate & strawberry options (and egg nog in the winter) so if you're in the area stop by to try it! If you return the bottle you get the $2.00 bottle deposit back.

Laura Bankey 6/12/2019 11:34 AMI'm looking forward to learning new ways to reduce my plastic use. I'm tired of plastic packaging and desperately want to learn how to reduce.
