Ally's actions
Food
Visit the Butcher
I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.
Community
Raise Money For a Nonprofit
I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.
Community
Share My Actions
I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.
Lifestyle
Travel Smart
If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.
Lifestyle
Travel Eating
If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.
Food
Skip the Straw
I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Lifestyle
Travel Toiletries
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.
Pets
All Natural Pet Toys
I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!
Food
Plant a Garden
I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden
Food
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 6 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Food
Minimize Packaging
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.
Personal Care
That Was a Close Shave
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

Ally Lauer 7/09/2019 5:42 AMOK - So I wasn't quite ready to dive into the poop-scoop action for my dogs ( we go on lots of walks and I didn't want to necessarily walk miles with a big giant poop scoop ). BUT - I found these great Compostable Dog Poop Bags on Amazon that are 100% biodegradable! ( and also have an amazing brand name ;) )

Ally Lauer 6/24/2019 9:57 AMI made my first "Plastic Free July" purchase last week! I got a GREAT reusable Starbucks Iced cup for $3.00 at my local Starbucks! It's reusable, came with the cool mermaid logo & has a reusable straw! Even better - you get a discount for using a reusable cup there! :) -
