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 paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will replace single use diapers for reusable cloth diapers.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, and dirt with baking soda.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

Disposable masks are made of mixed materials and not recyclable. When possible, I will reduce my waste while protecting myself and others by wearing a reusable face covering when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

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

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?
