Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

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

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

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 advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 7 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 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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