Kristin Story

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 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

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

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

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

I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

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

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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.
