I will post to my social media networks about how reducing our plastic use is important for both environmental justice and conservation.

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.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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

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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will keep 4 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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