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

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

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

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

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.
