I will use a microfiber catcher in my laundry, or install a microfiber filter for my washing machine.

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

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 make my environmental actions visible by sharing about them on my social media networks and the Plastic Free Ecochallenge participant feed.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

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

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

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

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