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 own cleaning products at home.

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 replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

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

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

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

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 learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

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

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

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

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 30 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.
