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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

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

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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

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

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