PETER's actions
Create Your Own Action
Drugless Weeding
I will switch from ANY commercial poisonous weed preventative (Roundup) and will instead use the one I found on the internet. (One gallon Vinegar, one cup table salt, a squirt of dish detergent)
Community
Share My Actions
I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.
Food
Use Reusable Water Bottles
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
Food
Use Reusable Bags
I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
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).
Food
Skip the Straw
I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
Personal Care
That Was a Close Shave
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Food
Use Reusable Utensils
I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
Pets
Invest in a Pooper-Scooper
I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
Lifestyle
Travel Smart
If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.
