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.
Single Use Plastic
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.
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.
No Single-Use Produce Bags
I pledge to not use or accept any single-use produce bags even if they’re labeled compostable or biodegradable.
No Plastic Dry Cleaning Bags
I pledge to not accept any plastic dry cleaning bags. Instead I will participate in my dry cleaner’s reusable garment bag program or bring my own reusable garment bag.
Carry Your Own Cutlery
I will not purchase, accept or distribute plastic cutlery. Instead I will carry my own reusable cutlery, preferably wrapped in a cloth napkin, to avoid single-use plastic and compostable bio-plastic cutlery.
No Plastic Straws
I pledge to not accept, buy or distribute single-use or heavy-weight reusable plastic straws.
No Single-Use Plastic Bags
I pledge to not accept, distribute or use plastic bags to reduce the impact of plastics on the Earth. I will carry reusable shopping bags instead. I will carry reusable shopping bags instead everywhere I go, even to the pharmacy and clothing stores, and keep a few in my trunk.
