I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.

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

I will avoid 4 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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

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

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