I will keep 2 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 purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

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

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

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