I will recycle 5 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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

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

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.

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

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

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

I will use beauty products that come in plastic-free packaging or refillable packaging.

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

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