Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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

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

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

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