Betsy Oei

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

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will spend 30 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

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

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 keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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