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

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

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 start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.
