Michelle Anne Olsen 7/11/2022 5:21 AMI agree with you! Especially razors that are marketed to women, which are subject to the "pink tax" - how frustrating!

Aimee's actions
Community
Research Local Waste Sites
I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
Personal Care
That Was a Close Shave
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.
Personal Care
Say No to "Flushable Wipes"
Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
Food
Skip Plastic Bags
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.
Food
Plant a Garden
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.
Food
Fill a Water Bottle
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
Food
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 8 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

REFLECTION QUESTIONPersonal CareWhat have you noticed about the economic and social impact of switching to steel razors? Was there ever really a need for disposable razors, or do you think it was just a way to sell more things?
Aimee Norcia 7/06/2022 12:57 PMthere was never really any need for disposable razors. I believe that it was definitely just to sell more things and make more money.
