I will swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time I go shopping.

I will switch to compostable floss in a reusable container.

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

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

I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

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

I will avoid 1 plastic bags each time I go shopping by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will recycle 1 plastic caps each day by placing them back on the (plastic) bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags by bringing them to a drop-off.
