Allyson McNaughotn

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

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!
