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

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 purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

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

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

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

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

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

I will replace 1 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.
