I will avoid 5 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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

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

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

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.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.
