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

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

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

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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 lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
