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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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 paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will prepare my own pet food and treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

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