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

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

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

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

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

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.

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.
