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

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly policies.

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

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, or community garden

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

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

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

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

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.
