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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
