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

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

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

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

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

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will purchase beauty products that are packaged in sustainable packaging.

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
