I will borrow toys for my kids instead of buying new or used.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 12 minutes learning about eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will spend 30 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.
