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

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

Purchase foods that are not considered perfect for the grocery store. Purchasing these items saves them from being wasted in the landfill.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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 write or sign 1 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

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.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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 spend at least 30 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 pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.
