I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

If traveling, I will bring my own airplane snacks and eat at local restaurants to avoid take-out containers.

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

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

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will host a house party with friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on plastics.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will go camping and 1) only bring food/water in reusable/compostable packaging, 2) purchase packaging free food or make my own granola bars marshmallows etc for the trip. This will be a fact finding mission for future backpacking trips.
