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

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will lessen my plastic impact by making my own makeup.

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

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will host a house party with friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on plastics.

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

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