If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, 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 make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

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.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

I will replace 3 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.
