Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

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.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

I will make better choices for the environment and my baby's bum by using reusable baby wipes most or all of the time.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will replace 2 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 45 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

I will swap out 3 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
