I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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.

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

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