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

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

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

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will replace 3 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 9 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

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