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

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

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

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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 make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
