I want to get my friends involved in as many green initiatives as possible. The more people act green and take small steps, the bigger the change will be.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will replace single use diapers for reusable cloth diapers.

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 make my own cleaning products at home.

I will purchase refillable beauty products.

I will spend 20 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, and dirt with baking soda.

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

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