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

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 purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

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

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

I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

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

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