I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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

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

I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

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

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 host a house party with friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on plastics.

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