Maggie's actions
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.
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.
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?
Personal Care
Pearly Whites
I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!
Community

I will pick up 6 piece(s) of litter each day.

Maggie Ostdahl 7/22/2019 12:12 PMIf you buy TP and paper towels in bulk, and would like to do so without plastic wrapping, consider the company Who Gives a Crap. I've been a customer for a few years and highly recommend - they only sell recycled or bamboo paper, and donate half their profits to help improve access to water and basic sanitation. Bonus: they are participating in PFJ too!
