I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will swap out 3 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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.

Sign up for the Community Champion Board portal so that you can track the eligible activities in the portal.

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.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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.

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