I will swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

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 prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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 make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.
