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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.
