Support the MNimize Campaign
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.

Estimate Your Plastic Footprint
I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

Make my own reusable bags
Instead of purchasing those crappy grocery bags I will make my own. My goal is to make 5 reusable bags out of old tee-shirts and the empty large cat litter bags. When those 5 are finishes I'll continue to make these bags as I feel needed

Watch a Documentary
I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

Make Green Cleaners
I will make 1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

Assemble a Zero Waste Kit
I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 2 of my household members.

How much more money do they need and what they won't do to get more.....even murder(killing mother earth!) Trillions and Trillions and Trillions of dollars just won't cut it for big fossil fuel!! They won't MORE MORE MORE! Love of money and greed is a deadly sin and there's a special place in hell that involves single use plastic in unimaginabl ways just 4 them! They're not gonna stop, only YOU and ME can make a difference by educating others, use sustainable packaging and STOP SUPPORTING BIG FOSSIL FUEL AT ANY COST!! Peace out, Dane☮️✌️🌈🌞🐳🐋🐬🦭🐠🐡🦈🐙 -

Dana Mayer 2/26/2023 11:33 AMWhat a beautiful day!! After a wonderful vegetarian breakfast at home with all organic bulk ingredient and a few mimosas, walked around my 'hood picking up trash wearing my vintage coveralls (saved from a dumpster). Got my homemade reusable bags on display and 4 sale at my friend's local vintage clothing store complete with info I printed on recycled paper about the horrors of plastic and we can do to help reduce our plastic waste. This challenge has brought new light to what else I need to do to help save what's left of our natural environment. I've dedicated my life to limiting my use of single use plastics, thank you my hippie parents, and now I'm dedicating the rest of my life spreading the word about the horrors of plastic and what we can do to help save what's left of our planet. In addition I've joined Greenpeace and ready to help bring down big fossil fuel or die trying! Our Mother Earth is pissed off and we gotta, as a whole, make her beautiful and substantial again...Godspeed -
