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

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

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

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 swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

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

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

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

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

I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.
