I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

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

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

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will replace 3 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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 swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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).

I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.
