Valerie Valt

I will host or participate in a park, highway, river or other cleanup effort in my community.

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

I will replace a store-bought item with a homemade item to reduce packaging waste.

My household of 3 will prioritize eating foods that may spoil soon.

I will repurpose/upcycle items such as pillows, blankets, clothing or small furniture to make a bed for my pet(s) rather than buying a new one.

I will buy 3 items of clothing at second-hand stores when I shop instead of buying them new.

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