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

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

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

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

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.

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

I will pick up 10 piece(s) of litter each day.

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