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

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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 give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

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

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