I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will purchase refillable beauty products.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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.

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