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

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

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

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

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

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

I will raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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 spend 15 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 donate 2 zero waste period kits to young people with periods so that they can reduce their waste and the financial burden of menstruation while continuing their education.
