I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.

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

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

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 plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

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

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

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.
