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

If possible, I will avoid sending 10 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.

I will donate 1 zero waste period kits to young people with periods so that they can reduce their waste and the financial burden of menstruation while continuing their education.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.

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 spend at least 30 minute(s) touring (virtually or in person) a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about our local waste and waste recovery streams.

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

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will swap out 10 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.
