Christine Ahrens

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

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

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will donate 1 zero waste period kits to young people with periods so that they can reduce their waste and the financial burden of menstruation while continuing their education.

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will spend at least 120 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 4 friends, family, and/or colleagues.
