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

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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