I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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 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.

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

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

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 8 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 6 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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