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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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 raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will volunteer 4 hour(s) in my community helping people who are most at need right now reduce their need for plastic, including elderly and immunocompromised people, people without childcare, and people whose jobs have been affected by social distancing or stay-at-home orders.

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

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

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

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditioners with either a bar or refillable option.

I will keep 4 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
