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

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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 20 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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.

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 it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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