Pilates and plastics at New England Aquarium

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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 prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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