I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 6 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

I will host a house party with friends and/or colleagues to watch a movie or present a guest speaker on plastics.

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.

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 plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

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

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.
