I will limit the use of the cloths dryer by hanging clothes outside on a laundry line or inside on drying rack.

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

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.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

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.

I will spend 20 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

Purchase plastic to go boxes to use for leftovers. Take to restaurants

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

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
