I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

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 purchase refillable beauty products.

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

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 disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?

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

I will volunteer 5 hour(s) in my community.

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

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

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

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