Claudia Yefremian

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

I will spend at least 60 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
