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

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

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 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.

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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

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

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

I will purchase my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes from the thrift store.

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
