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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.

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

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

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

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.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can, making sure to kindly let people know why I'm asking for alternative packaging.

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 raise money to support a nonprofit dedicated to plastic pollution reduction.

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

I will paint rooms in my home with low/no VOC or natural paints.
