I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

I will spend 10 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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