I will donate 1 zero waste period kits to young people with periods so that they can reduce their waste and the financial burden of menstruation while continuing their education.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will write or sign 1 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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.

Plasticulture is a huge source of plastic waste globally, I will purchase local produce that I know has not been grown with plastic barriers.

Many laundry detergents contain microplastics and detergent increases the shed of microplastics from synthetic materials. Plus many fabrics are over saturated with detergent and could benefit from a detergent free wash with just vinegar every now and then. I will skip the detergent every other wash.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will attend the July Sustainability Social Hour with OKC Beautiful to connect with more like minded individuals and to learn more about how to help educate about environmental issues.

Every July my neighborhood throws a party, and this year I'm helping plan! I will make sure we have compostable and recyclable party supplies and make sure the materials are disposed of properly.

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

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.
