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 QUESTIONFood Skip the StrawHave 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 QUESTIONLifestyle Travel ToiletriesWhat 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. -
