I will purchase bulk cat litter where I can refill and keep using the same container.

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.

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
