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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

Single-use plastics are everywhere, but that wasn't always the case. I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the history of single-use plastics and how it became ubiquitous in our daily lives.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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