I will swap out my single-use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper to clean up in my yard.

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

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

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
