I will provide daily plastic free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cuttlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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

I will reuse a gift bag for my sisters bridal shower. I will also help her save gift bags for future use instead of tossing them! (About 20 bags saved from landfill).

Switch to only use loofahs in my kitchen. These can be composted instead of tossed into trash!

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will start a compost collection at home, work, or school.

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