I would like to reduce plastic waste created by laundry detergent. I will switch to a plastic free or minimal plastic option and look into dryer sheet alternatives

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

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

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

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

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 use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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