I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
