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

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

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 prepare my own pet food to avoid plastic packaging.

I will keep 2 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 swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
