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

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

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

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

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

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

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

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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 spend at least 30 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.
