I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

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

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

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

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.
