Mary Ellen Martin

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

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

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

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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