Madilynn's actions
Personal Care
Just Say No
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.
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).
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Food
Buy Unpackaged Produce
I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.
Food
Minimize Packaging
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.
