I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will write or sign 2 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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.

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.

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 give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

Buy local produce picked fresh in my neighborhood by a community supported agriculture farm. No single use plastics and minimal carbon footprint.
