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

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 advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or at work.

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 swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 9 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

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