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

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

I will spend 15 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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 not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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 host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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

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 learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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