I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.

I have had this book written by the Marine Conservation Society on my stack of unread books for several months. Making this a commitment for July puts it at the top of my reading list.
