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

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

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

I will volunteer 50 hour(s) in my community.

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.

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 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.

I will keep 10 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

I will pick up 25 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
