Jacque Tremblay

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

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

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

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

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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

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

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.
