Allyson Coleman

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

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

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

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

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

I will replace single use diapers with reusable cloth diapers.

I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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