I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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 conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will use deodorant either from a bar or a jar or I will make my own.

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

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