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

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

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

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

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
