I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

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

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