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

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

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

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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 conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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