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

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

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging.

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
