If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 7 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will keep 6 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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 give my pets natural alternatives to toys like femur bones and antlers, canvas, natural rubber, hemp, rope or cotton toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will spend 30 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will swap out 5 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will replace 8 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.
