I will replace my [item] with a reusable [item] in the bathroom (disposable cups, makeup wipes and soap dispensers, etc.).

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

I will avoid 2 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will prepare 2 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 the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

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 cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.
