Samantha Lee

I will spend minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will avoid sending disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

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