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

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

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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.

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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly policies.

I will spend 5 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.
