I will keep 4 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 prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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 visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

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

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
