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

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

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

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

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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 purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

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

I will lessen my plastic impact by making my own makeup.
