I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

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

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

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

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

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

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