I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!
I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.
I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.
I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
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.
I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.
