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

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 10 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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

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

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

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

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

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