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

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 ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 3 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

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

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
