Andrea Paun

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

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

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

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

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 2 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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

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

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
