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

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 lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 10 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
