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

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

I will spend at least 5 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will spend 10 minutes learning about how plastic pollution affects members of my own community and how organizations in my community are working for change.

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!

I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will purchase refillable beauty products.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will plant a herb or vegetable garden in my home, workplace, dorm room, or community garden.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
