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

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 replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar.

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

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

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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, dorm room, or community garden.

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

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 prepare my own pet food and treats to avoid plastic packaging.
