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

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

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

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

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

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

I will swap out 4 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

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.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 2 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.

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.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

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 plant a herb or vegetable garden using as little plastic as possible and to save from the plastic used buying herbs and veggies.
