No Recycling in the Garbage
I pledge not to throw any recyclable or redeemable items in the garbage whether at home, at work or away.
Food & Beverages
Remove Your Garbage Disposal
I pledge to remove my in-sink garbage disposal because food scraps should never go down the drain.
Plan Zero Waste Events
I pledge to plan zero waste events that rely on washing and reusing everything and avoiding anything that’s single use or made from plastic.
Redeem Deposit Containers
I pledge to redeem all deposit bottles and cans I buy, or otherwise use, at redemption centers to ensure they are recycled.
Drink Sustainable Wine
I pledge to only buy and serve sustainable wine, which means wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes, wine labeled sustainable, or wine vinified in accordance with USDA Organic standards or Demeter Certified Biodynamic standards.
BYO Takeout Container
I pledge to go zero waste takeout by bringing my own reusable container and will inform the restaurant when I place my order so they can accommodate my request.
No Single-Use Food Storage Bags
I pledge to not buy any single-use food storage bags to help transition to a plastic-free lifestyle.
Buy Plastic-Free Produce
I pledge to not buy any produce packaged in plastic mesh, plastic clam shells, or wrapped in plastic film. I will buy loose produce instead.
Reuse Aluminum Foil
I pledge to reuse aluminum foil by washing it – soaking if necessary to soften baked-on food – and drip drying it, then folding or rolling it to be stored until next time.
No Plastic Food Wrap
I will not buy plastic food wrap since it’s not recyclable and is made from petroleum, which can leach toxins into our food and the environment. Instead I will buy washable, reusable beeswax food wrap to go zero waste.
