I will swap out 2 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 possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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 replace 4 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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 conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will write or sign 1 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.
