I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will replace single use diapers with reusable cloth diapers.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will give a shout-out on social media to a local company, coworker, friend or family member for their plastic free or green efforts.

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 only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and tupperware-like containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but combine with fat to create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.

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

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

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

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

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