If possible, I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

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

I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

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

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

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.
