I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will spend 25 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will replace 10 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

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

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