Karen Schenk

I will volunteer 20 hour(s) in my community.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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 spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.
