I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 4 of my household members.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.

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

I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with solid bars or refillable options.

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

I will replace my disposable plastic razors with a steel safety razor.

I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
