Laura Hughes

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.
