I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

If possible, I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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

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

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

Solar power is the cleanest form of energy, and I made a choice to put panels on my roof in 2017. For the lifetime of my solar array I have done the equivalent to planting 413 trees or removing 54,608 pounds of CO2 emissions. I will continue to advocate to people to people to install solar power.
