• Give up all plastic bags in favor of reusable bags -- no matter the type of store you visit
• Resolve not to drink out of any throwaway plastic bottles...bring your own metal or reusable bottle with you
• Resolve to make at least one meal each week from all local ingredients
• Replace at least five gifts you'd normally buy at a store with local and/or handmade purchases. You'll help reduce wasteful packaging and support local businesses
