I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

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

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

I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

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 visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
