Debbie's actions
At Home
Make Green Cleaners
I will make 2 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.
At Home
Shop Used
I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.
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.
Personal Care
Purchase Alternative Toothpaste
I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging.
Personal Care
Choose sustainable suds
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with solid bars or refillable options.

Plastics 101
Read Plastic-Free Challenge emails
I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.
