I will swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

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.

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.
