April Brohawn

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

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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 make my own cleaning products at home.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

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

I will volunteer 6 hour(s) in my community.
