I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

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

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

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

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 avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

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

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