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

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 keep 4 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own travel cup.

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

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 host a watch party with friends and/or colleagues to watch and discuss a movie about plastics.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 120 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

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 use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

I will keep 9 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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 spend 30 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 replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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