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

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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

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

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

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.
