Sheila's Actions
At Home
Plastic-Free Caffeine Routine
I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.
At Home
Swap Sponges for Longer Lasting Reusable Options
I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.
At Home
Recycle Plastic Caps
I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
At Home
Recycle Plastic Bags
Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 3 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.
On-the-go
Use Reusable Water Bottles
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
On-the-go
Skip the Straw
I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
