I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 10 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

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

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

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

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
