I will spend 15 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

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 replace 1 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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 try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.
