Patricia's Actions
Personal Care
Practice Low-Waste Hair Care
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with a bar, refillable option, or I will make my own.
At Home
Extend the Life of Electronics
Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will delay replacing my smart phone for 3 years.
At Home
Recycle Plastic Bags
Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 plastic bags by bringing them to a drop-off.

Patricia Cohen 2/17/2021 8:44 AMI ALMOST BOUGHT A PLASTIC CONTAINER OF CORN STARCH AND THEN NOTED A NON-PLASTIC ALTERNATIVE WHICH I BOUGHT INSTEAD. I AM USING BAR SOAP AND WILL CHECK WITH THE COSMETIC STORE "LUSH" IN ROSEDALE WHICH IS REPORTED TO CARRY SHAMPOO IN BAR FORM VS BOTTLES -
Patricia Cohen 2/07/2021 9:07 AMThanks for the shampoo bar info. I also spoke to a clerk at Ulta. She told me that Lush Cosmetics ( a mall type store) sells a bar shampoo -
Patricia Cohen 2/05/2021 12:32 PMI am now committed to using "bar soap" in the shower - replacing my "shower gel" in plastic bottles - with bar soap. I wish I had a plan for hair shampoo and cream rinse. Any suggestions?-
Jessie Roelofs 2/06/2021 3:38 PMI had been using HiBAR shampoo and conditioner but found my hair was too dry for that. My friend gifted me this shampoo and I find my hair feels less dry. It's a bit of trial and error. May be worthwhile to have a "experimental buddy" to share and try things together until you find the one you love
