When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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

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 switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

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

When available, I will purchase clothing and bedding made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will spend 90 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
