I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.

I will avoid using disposable decorations, such as balloons and plastic table coverings, for special occasions.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with a bar, refillable option, or I will make my own.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 1 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
