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

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

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.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will spend at least 10 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 3 friends, family, and/or colleagues.
