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

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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.

I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

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