I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

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

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.

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 20 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

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.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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