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

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

If possible, I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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 keep 3 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.
