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

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

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

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

I will replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.

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

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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