I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers.

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

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will use beauty products that come in plastic-free packaging, refillable packaging, or I will make my own.

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

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

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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