U.S. Bank Plastic Free Avengers

I limit my plastic grocery bag use by remembering to bring reusable bags to the store. I also limit my bottled water purchases by refilling a reusable bottle.

I used to get pre-wrapped utensils in take out orders. I now don't do much take out due to the waste it produces. If I do, I tell the vendor to skip the plasticware, sauce cups, plastic bags, etc... I bring my own take out containers and keep a reusable bag in my purse. I have a container on my kitchen container which has chopsticks, reusable...

Though I haven't yet purchased the bulk cat litter represented at Urban Tails, I am planning to visit their store ((Lyndate Avenue, Mpls) to check out the product, and hopeful it can be an option for transitioning my kitties.

I use a pet "slicker" (wire) brush to remove pet hair from rugs, furniture, towels, blankets.

Continually amazed at the amount of different plastics in daily life. DId you know, with Waste Management, you can get a second Recycle bin at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE?

On walks I make it a point to pick up plastic waste I find on the ground and carry to a trash bin.

Great week of discovering what plastics are in my home!

I made vinegar and water in a spray bottle. I use this for spot cleaning and windows. Works great!!

Litter occurs in a shared community environment. By removing litter, I am improving the health of the community. When others see me picking up litter, this creates a connection that they could do the same. It's a win win!
