I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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

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

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 60 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.
