Using old t-shirts, I will make reusable bags for shopping.

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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

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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

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

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

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.
