I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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 avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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