I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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 use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will prepare my own pet food and treats to avoid plastic 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 conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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

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