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

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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

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

I will purchase dry goods from the bulk section of my grocery store, and use my own containers to do so.

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

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

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.
