I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

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

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

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