I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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