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

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

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

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of litter each day.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 90 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
