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

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
