Arturo C Romua, Jr.

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

I will host or participate in a beach, highway, river, or other cleanup effort in my community that follows the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own reusable straw.

I will replace my plastic toothbrush with a bamboo toothbrush.

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

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

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

I will switch to a plastic-free toothpaste — whether purchased or DIY'd.

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

If possible, I will avoid sending 3 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
