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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

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

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

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