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.

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

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

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.
