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

I will keep 10 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will prepare 3 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

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

I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

My goal is to completely switch over to shampoo bars. We still have shampoo in a bottle, but the goal is to switch to bars. I picked because I feel this is a big part of our plastic consumption
