Brenda's actions
Personal Care
Switch to a natural loofah or wash cloth
They are 100% compostable and biodegradable so they won’t end up in a landfill and they are better for my skin anyways!
Food
Stop Buying Water
I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.
Plastics 101
Know the Numbers
The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.
Community
REDUCE MY MILES DRIVEN
I will cut down the miles I drive to reduce microplastic shedding from tires. Alternatives include riding public transit, walking, biking, carpooling and combining trips.
On-the-go
Pack a Lunch
I will skip eating out and bring a lunch from home in reusable containers.
Community
Pick Up Plastic Litter
I will pick up 3 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.
At Home
Shop Used
I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

REFLECTION QUESTIONOn-the-goWhat are some of the unexpected benefits of bringing your own lunch?
Brenda Misukanis 2/20/2026 2:11 PMI also know the calorie content of what I'm eating and am sure to incorporate additional fruits and vegetables as I pack things myself vs. grabbing food on the go! Healthier and less plastic!! -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCommunityHow does the act of picking up litter connect you more to your community?
Brenda Misukanis 2/16/2026 9:37 AMKeeping the park clean by just picking up trash while walking my dog makes it a 'healthier/cleaner' place for all. That way the kids can enjoy the playground, neighbors can enjoy a clear walking path and the young adults don't have to worry about trash/plastics on their basketball and volleyball courts before they come over to play 'pickup games' -
Brenda Misukanis 2/13/2026 7:17 AMIt was great to see/select the actions that I was already doing or had previously done as well as to select a few more to add in and help me reduce my plastic 'footprint' each week!
