Cassidy Martin

When available, I will purchase clothing and bedding made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

A waste-free alternative to disposable lint rollers, a lint brush can be used to remove pet fur from clothing and furniture. They also can be used on carpets, saving the electricity used by a vacuum.

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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