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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will swap out 3 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will spend at least 60 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

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

I will spend 61 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

I will spend 10 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 12 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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.
