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

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

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.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 2 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 60 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.
