Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will prepare my own pet food to avoid plastic packaging.

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

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

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

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