Learn about how plastics are affecting our environment!

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

I will pick up 20 piece(s) of litter each day.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

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

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

I will swap out 2 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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