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

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging, making sure to wash them well before using them.

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

I will replace 2 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
