Although a long-standing festive tradition, balloons are harmful for animals and the environment. I will spend 45 learning about the dangers of balloons and find eco-friendly alternatives to use instead.

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.

Single-use plastics are everywhere, but that wasn't always the case. I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about the history of single-use plastics and how it became ubiquitous in our daily lives.
