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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

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

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 spend 5 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.
