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 pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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

I will purchase meats and cheeses from the deli counter or a butcher shop, and use my own containers to do so.

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