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

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and reusable containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

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

I will avoid items marketed to first-time parents and instead use or refurbish items I already have or get them from friends or family.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can.

I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
