Rachel Galvez

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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 spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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.

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