Katie Fortescue

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

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

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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.

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.

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.
