Will Mitchell

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

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.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

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

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

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