Vickie Edel

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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

To help recycle glass

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.
