Barb Swanson

I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.

I will carry all of the waste I generate in a day with me to increase my awareness of my personal waste footprint.

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

I will recycle while on the go, but if I can't find a recycling receptacle, I'll bring it home with me.

I will not accept any disposable bags when shopping, both at the grocery store and elsewhere.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and fast fashion and start applying what I learn to my own life.

I will adopt a "Needs vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
