Veronica Allen

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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

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