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

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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 advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.
