Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.
I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).
When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.
I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.
I will keep 5 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 4 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.
I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.
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.
When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
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.
Plastic production, not just disposal, pollutes communities and harms people. I will learn about the impacts of plastic production on humans, animals, communities, and the environment.
I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.
When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.
I will spend 45 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
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 replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.
I will replace 3 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.
I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.
I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.
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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.
I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.
