MARLIE HAWKES

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

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 replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar.

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, and dirt with baking soda.

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

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 swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
