I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 10 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.

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