Gwen Lovett

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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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

I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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 purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.
