Meg Flindall

Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

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

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
