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 use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

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

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

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

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 keep 8 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 use my own containers when ordering takeout.
