I will spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

If traveling, I will bring my own plastic free items (water bottle, grocery bags, collapsible food containers, utensils, straws, etc.) with me.

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

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

I will volunteer 23 hour(s) in my community.

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

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

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

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