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

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

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.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

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

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

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.
