To bring awareness to the fishing practices and the trash the camping sites leave behind while cleaning up the area.

Beach clean up with a focus on MicroPlastics

Beach clean up hosted by ASLC

Sponsored a Beach clean up within the community

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 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 learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

I will make my own snacks instead of purchasing pre-packaged snacks at the store (homemade granola bars, rice krispie treats, dried fruit, trail mix, hummus, applesauce, protein bites, etc.)

I will take my produce containers to a farmer's market to refill them instead of buying more in plastic packaging from the store.

Instead of using single use cotton rounds, I will switch to reusable bamboo rounds.

I will use cloth rags for around-the-house cleanups instead of paper towels.

I will line my trash bins at home with paper bags instead of plastic bags.

I will make an effort to purchase/use matches instead of plastic lighters.

I will make an effort to purchase clothing from thrift/second-hand stores instead of buying fast fashion clothing.

When going out to eat, I will bring my own reusable container for leftovers instead of using the restaurant-provided containers.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with an eco-friendly shampoo bar or refillable shampoo option.

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

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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