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

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

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 use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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