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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

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

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

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