I will swap out 6 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

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

I will keep 10 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

Join WashU Sustainability Staff July 20th from 12pm – 1pm to learn more about how single-use plastics are used in research and healthcare and how you can begin to reduce plastic use in your lab or practice.

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

Reducing meat consumption has many benefits; it curtails greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and soil degradation. It will also save an enormous amount of land, water use and will increase biodiversity.
