Hailie Riegsecker

I will not use a straw all of July OR I will use a sustainable/reusable straw when I need one. I made this to see how many straws I am offered on a weekly basis. At the end I intend to count up all of the straws I have been offered and the amount of times I have actually had to use one.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will spend 5 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

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

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will spend 10 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

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