I will spend 20 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 spend 10 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

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

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

I will swap out 3 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
