I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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

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

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

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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.
