I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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

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

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

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

I will swap out my single use plastic bags for a pooper-scooper.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will find secondhand sources for my pet's water/food dishes, collars or leashes.

Ditch single-use plastic wrap and use sustainable Bee's Wrap®. Just one pack of Bee's Wrap® can save 1,667 sq. feet of plastic wrap from entering our oceans and landfills each year. That’s enough plastic to cover a single-family home.

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.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Watch film "Smog of the Sea" to learn more about the impact of plastic in our oceans. Be inspired by the unique crew and see that anyone can make a difference.

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 host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.
