I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
