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

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.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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