I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will prepare 3 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will spend 30 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

I will purchase my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes from the thrift store.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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

I re-label all plastic containers for other uses.
