I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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

I will replace 2 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

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

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

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

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

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

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

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

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