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

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

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

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 paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

I will spend 45 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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.
