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 replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will spend 4 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, or dirt with baking soda.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

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

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 prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.
