Beena Brown

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will recycle 4 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will prepare 6 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will use a reusable lint brush or vacuum to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets, and furniture.

I will swap 6 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
