Nicole Herbert

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

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

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 20 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.
