I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA approved reusable quart sized bag.

I will purchase my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes from the thrift store.

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

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

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

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

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

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.
