I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 20 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

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

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