I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

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

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

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

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

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.

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