Gina Wasko

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

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

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

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.
