I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich 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 swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will spend 20 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

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 prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.
