I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

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 keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 6 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

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

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 make my own cleaning products at home.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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