I will visit a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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 only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.
