Andrea Schlunk

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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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

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

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