I will replace single use diapers for reusable cloth diapers.

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

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

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.
