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 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 ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will spend 45 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will prepare 3 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
