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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

I will volunteer 30 hour(s) in my community.

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

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

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

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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.

I will spend 60 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.
