I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will make my own cleaning products or choose plastic-free, refillable options.

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.

I will replace 1 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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 purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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