Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

I will swap out my cat's litter for sawdust, mulch, or dirt with baking soda.

I will make the switch to sustainable, reusable period products.

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

I will write or sign 1 letters, emails or petitions per day to advocate for plastic-free or planet-friendly policies.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

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

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

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

I will lobby my workplace to have reusable dishes and silverware in order to minimize disposables.

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 visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.
