I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

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

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