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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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

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

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

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 90 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.
