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

I will give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or I will make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

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 purchase toothpaste in an aluminum tube or in a glass jar or make my own!

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

I will purchase produce items without plastic packaging, making sure to wash them well before using them.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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

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

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.
