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

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

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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

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

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

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

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.
