I will spend 40 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

Single-use plastics are everywhere, but that wasn't always the case. I will spend at least 30 minutes learning about the history of single-use plastics and how it became ubiquitous in our daily lives.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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.

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 10 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

I will spend at least 20 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 20 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.
