I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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 available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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 use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.
