I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

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