Angie Cuellar

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

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

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will prepare my own pet food to avoid plastic packaging.

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

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

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

Sign up for the Community Champion Board portal so that you can track the eligible activities in the portal.

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.
