HEIDI's actions
Food
Cook a Zero-Plastic Waste Meal
I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
Personal Care
Pretty oh so Pretty
I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.
Lifestyle
Travel Toiletries
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.
Lifestyle
Homemade Cleaners
I will make my own cleaning products at home.
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.
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
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
Back in the Bowl
I will purchase refillable beauty products.

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

REFLECTION QUESTIONFoodHave you noticed a shift in your community as more messaging about reusable straws becomes mainstream? Cite some examples.
HEIDI Pepin 7/09/2019 1:52 AMI think a lot of people are aware of the damage of straws. The problem is that they're so ingrained in going out to eat. I shouldn't just be handed a drink with a straw in it. Let me decide what I want. -
HEIDI Pepin 7/09/2019 1:50 AMGood! I have to remember to ask restaurants not to bring straws. Why is that a thing? -
HEIDI Pepin 7/09/2019 1:49 AMPretty good. Baby steps, mostly. Some things I haven't done because I don't need to purchase them yet. Others I really need to focus on, like meals without one-time plastic use. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONLifestyleWhat is the benefit of using bar soaps or refilling your travel sized containers? Is this an action you think you will keep in your life?
HEIDI Pepin 7/09/2019 1:47 AMI wasn't sure that I would like bar soaps but they're easy and effective and lathers just as well. It depends on the quality of product. -
