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.

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.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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 1 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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 pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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