I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.
I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
I will avoid using disposables, such as balloons, table covers and single-use favors as well as disposable plates, cups and utensils for special occasions.
