If possible, I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
