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

I will call ahead to ask if I can bring my own garment bag to the dry cleaner or request no bag.

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.

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 purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per 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 per day by bringing them to a drop-off.
