Chelsea Saunders

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

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

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.
