I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

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

I will pick up 4 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will spend 2 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will spend at least 1 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will try new recipe(s) or food preparation method(s) each day, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.
