Myke Garcia

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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.

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 keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

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

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 90 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

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

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