I will post 3 or 4 Instagram posts a week to educate people on plastic pollution and what they can do to help with plastic pollution

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

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

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

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

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 spend 15 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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

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