I will spend at least 40 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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

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

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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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 replace 2 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

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

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