Gail Carroll-Stone

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.

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

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

I will swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

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