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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will swap out 3 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

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

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 a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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