Buying plastic bottles and then throwing them away when I've finished drinking. Instead of buying new bottles, I could use the same water bottle and refill them with water anytime I need

2. Funding processed meat producers by eating their products. Reducing the amount of processed meat I eat

Leaving tap water running
- I usually leave the tap water on while brushing my teeth, I can get into the habit of closing the tap in the process of brushing my teeth.

2. Being more conscious of where to dispose things.
- Using compost when necessary and recycling when necessary. ]]> 2021-11-26 11:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/squreshi19/676elvf92657bgdh/wish/1914209861 i use the shampoo: Head and shoulders https://padlet.com/squreshi19/676elvf92657bgdh/wish/1914219543
it has palm oil

Most shampoos have Palm oil, so there is nothing I can change because it is out of my reach unless companies decide to stop using palm oil in shampoos. The one thing i can think of is I can use smaller bottles of this type of shampoo]]> 2021-11-26 11:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/squreshi19/676elvf92657bgdh/wish/1914219543
