I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

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

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

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

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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