I will keep 2 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will swap out 1 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.

I will spend 60 minutes educating my family on the basics of living a reduced/no-plastic lifestyle.

I will advocate for alternatives to single use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or work.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

I will conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.

When it's time to buy more, I will replace my beauty products with refillable, sustainable, and/or DIY options.

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with a sustainable, unpackaged, or refillable option.

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