Lorelei Elaine's Actions
Food
Skip the Straw
I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Lifestyle
Travel Eating
If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with either a bar or refillable option.
Food
Buy Unpackaged Produce
I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging, making sure to wash them well before using them.
Community
Clean our canal
Spend an hour to get kids to pick up trash along the canal behind our townhouses, rewards of popsicles and ice cream cones are a great motivator. Side walk chalk to the child with the biggest collection of trash
Family
Plastic Free Lunch Boxes
I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.
Family
Provide the Alternatives
I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.
Family
Swap the Snacks
I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
