I will calculate my water footprint and look for a few ways I can reduce consumption or waste.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how lifestyle changes could reduce the carbon footprint and impacts on the environment.

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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 bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

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

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 purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden
