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.

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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

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

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 spend 6 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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