Marlene Tripp

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

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

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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.
