I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

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