Zac's Actions
Food
Minimize Packaging
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
Family
Swap the Snacks
I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
Food
Plant a Garden
I will plant a herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, dorm room, or community garden.
Lifestyle
Reusable Face Coverings
Disposable masks are made of mixed materials and not recyclable. When possible, I will reduce my waste while protecting myself and others by wearing a reusable face covering when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.
Pets
All Natural Pet Toys
I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!
Personal Care
Just Say No
I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

Reflection QuestionFamily Swap the SnacksHow does swapping out prepackaged snacks for fresh fruit or veggies benefit your family?
Zac Elliott 7/14/2020 3:00 PMThe fresh stuff has no high-fructose corn syrup or preservatives which certainly is healthier and an added bonus is that we have less things to try to recycle because we never bought them in the first place, -
Reflection QuestionPersonal Care Just Say NoDo some research on polystyrene and polyvinyl. How many items in your house already contain these toxins?
Zac Elliott 7/14/2020 12:40 PMAlmost everything. It's like the Red40 or high-fructose corn syrup of non-foods.-

Reflection QuestionFood Plant a GardenBesides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?
Zac Elliott 7/08/2020 7:29 AMHaving a garden supports pollination. Pollination is vital for production of many staples in our lives such as coffee, tea, and tequila.-

I'm on board for a group clean-up! Maybe someday after or before work? -
Allie Hobgood 7/05/2020 7:28 PMLove these ideas Zac! Once we can do so safely, we should really organize a group cleanup effort somewhere!
