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

I will pick up 15 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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

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 give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

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.
