Emily Johnson

I will purchase secondhand water/food dishes, collars, or leashes, and other pet supplies.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.

I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will make  3 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.
