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

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 15 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable options.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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

I will spend at least 15 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
