Sandra Mitchell

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

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

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

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 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 avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

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

I will spend 120 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
