Val Lofton

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

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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