Samantha's actions
Family
Swap the Snacks
I will swap out 4 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
Family
Discover Together
I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
Food
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
Food
Buy Unpackaged Produce
I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.
Community
Visit A Waste Management Facility
I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.
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?
Lifestyle
Naked Bins
I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

REFLECTION QUESTIONFamily Discover TogetherWhat concerns you the most about how we are affecting the planet? Consider both local and global actions.
Samantha McKahan 6/20/2019 10:48 AMIf we don't start reusing and recycling more and making it a local as well as global norm then our children and grandchildren are going to have to deal with more carbon output and less oxygen output. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunity Visit A Waste Management FacilityLandfills and recycling centers tell us a lot about our communities and purchasing habits. What did you glean from your visit?
Samantha McKahan 6/20/2019 10:42 AMI learned that we have so much waste that gets buried in the landfill that every so often they have to move around where you take and dump your trash. I also learned that there are several recycling places that I did not know about.
