I will switch to a plastic-free deodorant — whether purchased or DIY'd.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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.

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

I will spend at least 30 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

I will spend at least 30 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.

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