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

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

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

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

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