Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, or dirt with baking soda.

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

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

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.
