I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will visit rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

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.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.

i will use dish rags and dish towels throughout the day instead of wasting paper towels that come wrapped in plastic
