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

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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will swap 2 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 stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will swap out my single-use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper to clean up in my yard.

I will use a reusable lint brush or vacuum to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets, and furniture.

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.
