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

I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.

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

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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 use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.
