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

I will post to my social media networks about how reducing our plastic use is important for both environmental justice and conservation.

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

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

Disposable masks are made of mixed materials and not recyclable. When possible, I will reduce my waste while protecting myself and others by wearing a reusable face covering when in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about how plastic pollution affects members of my own community and how organizations in my community are working for change.

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for plastic reduction policies that are better for both the planet and people.

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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 host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.
