I will keep 2 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 only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will make my own cleaning products at home.

I will watch a documentary film about waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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

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

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

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
