Kimberly Steppenbacker

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

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

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

I will spend at least 45 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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 create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will spend 45 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
