I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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!

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

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.
