Jori Presutti

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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

I will spend 45 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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!

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with either a bar or refillable option.

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
