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

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

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

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will spend 20 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

Only use cloth napkins and paper towels

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

I will spend 35 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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