I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

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

I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

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

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

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will use laundry detergent that is packaged in glass or aluminum, or an alternative like soap nuts.

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

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