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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

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

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.

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

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

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

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

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

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

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

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