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

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

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.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

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

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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