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

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

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 keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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.
