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

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

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 10 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

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

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