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

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

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

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

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

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

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

When available, I will purchase clothing and bedding made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

I will replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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