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.

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.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

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.

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.
