SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine — Laura Marston made a New Years resolution three years ago to cut back on her family's environmental impact. Marston swore never to use a single use plastic water bottle ever again.
That was just the beginning of a new movement in her life. From there, she took baby steps to find new ways to reduce and reuse. Those steps have sparked a business that Marston just opened in South Portland called GoGo Refill, where she teaches others how to minimize their use of plastic.
From cleaning solutions you can refill in the store in your own container; to eye shadows and lip glosses that don't come in plastic; to chewable toothpaste - there are plenty of things in Marston's store that go well into reducing waste.
We asked Laura Marston to share a few tips with us; watch the interview for her advice.
