I will stop requesting and accepting disposable utensils at restaurants/take-out meals. I have always requested them, and when I don't use them they sit in a drawer at home. They get bulk-recycled once a year, but not all recycling facilities will ACTUALLY recycle them! Instead, I'll use reusable utensils and rinse them at home.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

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 volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will purchase my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes from the thrift store.

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 swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

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

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

I will replace 2 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.
