Julia's actions
Pets
Pet Waste
I will spend 5 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.
Create Your Own Action
No leftover food waste
I will keep food out of our oceans by eating all of the food and having no leftover food. I picked this because food waste is one of the main causes of pollution.
Food
Start Composting
I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.
Family
Thoughtful Toys
I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!
Personal Care
Pearly Whites
I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!
Food
Use Reusable Containers
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

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

Keep My Community Clean
I will pick up 15 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

Julia Jones 8/01/2019 5:02 AMI learned from this challenge that when we all try, we can reduce plastic waste and it proves that we can live without it and clean our planet a little at a time. A little goes a long way, especially if a bunch of people pitch in. -

REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Start CompostingDo an inventory of how much food waste you would save from going to the landfill if you start composting all of the time. What are the added benefits of having compost that is readily accessible?
Julia Jones 7/27/2019 4:50 PMBenefits of having a compost bin are throwing less trash away and it going into the landfill. Compost bins are also good because you can put things like banana peels in them and they become soil. -
