AMEL MEDJAHED

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce 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 only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will swap out 6 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

I will replace 10 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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.
