I will volunteer 100 hour(s) in my community.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will keep 7 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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 only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will replace 7 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

My goal is to help reduce the amount of glass throw away by reusing and repurposing the glass. I will reuse the glass for art, jars, vases, etc. I picked this because there always seems to be extra glass in my house that’s going to be thrown away.
