Abigail Cortez

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

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.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

I will lessen my plastic impact by making my own makeup.

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

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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

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

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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