I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

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

I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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 use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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 purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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!
