I have ordered the documentary "The True Cost" on Netflix and plan to watch it when I return from my vacation. I find that watching a documentary is a great way to learn more about what one can do to help our earth.

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 keep 03 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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

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

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.

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

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