Ambre Cook

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

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

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

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

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

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

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 5 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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