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 make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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.

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

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

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

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

Single-use plastics are everywhere, but that wasn't always the case. I will spend at least 15 minutes learning about the history of single-use plastics and how it became ubiquitous in our daily lives.
