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

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

My goal is to convince my family to only use washable plates for dinner, rather than using single use plates. It is imperative for my family to take action and make an impact with reducing the amount of plates being thrown away that are used for about 20 minutes. Small actions lead to bigger changes and a better outlook for habits within the household.

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.

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

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

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

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

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

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
