Linda's actions
At Home
Choose Natural Clothing Fibers
I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex. Try prioritizing buying used clothing before buying new.
Food
Skip Single-Use Plastic for Freezing Food
I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.
Plastics 101
Put compostable plastics in the right place
I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.
Plastics 101
Recycle Plastic Bags
Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 10 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeWhat are the benefits (to people, animals, and the environment) of purchasing clothes made with natural fibers?
Linda Gau 2/15/2026 11:14 AMThere are so many unnatural fibers in our environment. Natural fibers cut down on some of the harm we do. -

Linda Gau 2/15/2026 10:38 AMI found an awesome clear shoe polish that will allow me to keep two pair of shoes that needed refurbishing. So nice to not need to buy something that may include plastics. -
Linda Gau 2/15/2026 10:34 AMI will give up precooked hardboiled eggs because the plastic bag they come in is multi-layered and cannot be recycled. Plus eggs are cheaper this way. -
Linda Gau 2/15/2026 10:32 AMI returned two unused plastic Bento boxes to the store. -
Linda Gau 2/11/2026 10:23 AMI need to use distilled water for various reasons. The water comes in plastic jugs. Any suggestions?-
