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 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will spend 60 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

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

I will use a rubber glove to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets and furniture.

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

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

I will spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will spend at least 120 minutes researching how to properly dispose of bioplastics in my city and share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will spend 120 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.
