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 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.

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 write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly policies.

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

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

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

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

I will sign a petition in support of a plastic-related initiative in my state/province.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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