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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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 purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
