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

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

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

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — 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.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

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

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!

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 visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.
