I will prepare my own pet food to avoid plastic packaging.

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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

I will spend 60 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

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 find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community.

Sign up for the Community Champion Board portal so that you can track the eligible activities in the portal.

I will plant an herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.
