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

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will volunteer 10 hour(s) in my community.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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 deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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

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