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

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

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

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 10 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.
