Kate Winters

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

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.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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

When available, I will purchase clothing and bedding made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

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