Anne OBrien

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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

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