Sheila and Everett Sjolseth

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will learn about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will research toxic chemicals found in cleaning supplies and personal care products and remove them from my home.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 10 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day by composting my food or learning how to.

I will not use any disposable plates, cups, or utensils.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I want us to be even more purposeful right now of being outside and interacting with others while we work on realigning our "inside the house" waste habits.
