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.

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

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

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

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

While using a car is necessary in my life, cutting back to using it 2 days per week will make me pursue biking or mass transportation options instead. Why drive when I could walk or bike? Also, instead of running out numerous times to quickly pick something up, those trips could be combined on one of the 2 days the car is used.
