Roja Illuri

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will switch to compostable floss in a reusable container.

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will spend 10 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.
