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

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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!

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

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

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

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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