I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will make better choices for the environment and my baby's bum by using reusable baby wipes most or all of the time.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 60 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will spend at least 60 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 4 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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 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 60 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 6 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will write or sign 2 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

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