I will either line my trash cans with repurposed newspaper or paper bags, or I will not line my trash cans at all.

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.

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

I will spend 45 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.
