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

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will keep 2 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 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will spend 20 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 plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.

I will spend 20 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

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