I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 30 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will write or sign 10 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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

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.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 10 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.
