ANN CONNELLY

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

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

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

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.
