Cosette MacLaren

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

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 make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

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

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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 start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will spend 5 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.
