I will call ahead to ask if I can bring my own garment bag to the dry cleaner or request no bag.

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 use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me 

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

Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items. 

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

I will keep 4 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will cut down the miles I drive to reduce microplastic shedding from tires. Alternatives include riding public transit, walking, biking, carpooling and combining trips.
