I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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.

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

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

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

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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.
