I will spend at least 5 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 2 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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.

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

I will make my environmental actions visible by posting to my social media networks.

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.

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

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

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

Watch film "Smog of the Sea" to learn more about the impact of plastic in our oceans. Be inspired by the unique crew and see that anyone can make a difference.

I will visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

I will host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.
