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 use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

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

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

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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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