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

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

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.

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 spend 10 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 20 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

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

I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

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

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.
