Michelle Holst

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

I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.
