When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

I will pick up 25 piece(s) of litter each day.

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 visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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 spend 30 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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.
