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

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

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

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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