Bella Fletcher

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

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

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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 purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will spend 30 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

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