Waste

Skip the Straw

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straws out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

DAILY ACTIONS

Waste

Reduce Single-Use Disposables

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate. I will keep 2 containers out of the landfill each day.

Listen to Equity and Justice Podcasts

    Using containers without the need for a straw, like glass water bottles has helped me cut down on straw use.

      Hey Mary,
      I listen to so many podcasts, but a few that I find to have a lot of varying and interesting information are Diary of a CEO and Consider This (NPR).
