Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 10 minutes learning about eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

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

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

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

I will make  3 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 3 of my household members.
