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

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

I will pick up 1 piece(s) of litter each day.

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.
