Stella Leung - N

I really enjoy my rain barrel in my garden. It saves me money and also our environment. If every house is equipped with one, it will save a lot of drinking water.

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

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 properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

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 host a house party with friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on plastics.

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community.

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.
