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

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

I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging, or I will make my own!

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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

I will swap 3 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags instead of buying new bags to line my trash containers.

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.
