Mindy's actions
At Home
Skip the Dryer Sheets
I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.
At Home
Extend the Life of Electronics
Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.
Food
Ditch the plastic baggies or wrap
I will ditch zippered plastic bags and/or plastic wrap and switch to reusable containers or wrap for food storage.
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.
Food
ditch the plastic cutting boards
I purchased wood cutting boards. Goal to reduce plastic use and reduce microplastics in our food.

REFLECTION QUESTIONAt HomeHow difficult (or easy!) has it been for you to cut dryer sheets from your laundry routine?
Mindy Shulfer 2/10/2026 4:01 PMThis is one of the easiest things to do! Trader Joe's has a bag of wool dryer balls, as do a lot of other retailers. Some specialty stores even have cute animals woven into the surface of the balls. -
