I will use my own containers when ordering takeout.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl.

I will purchase refillable beauty products.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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 spend 30 minutes learning how to compost pet waste at home or research pet waste composting services available in my area.

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

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

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

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