I will pick up 15 piece(s) of litter each day.

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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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.

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

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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