Peter Findlay

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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).

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

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

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

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

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

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!
