I will swap 3 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will provide daily plastic-free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cutlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.

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

I will avoid 5 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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

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

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.
