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

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

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will visit the rePurpose website, complete the 3-minute plastic consumption calculator, and explore how I can reBalance my annual plastic footprint.

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

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 spend at least 60 minutes researching the impacts of bioplastics and how to properly dispose of them in my city, and I will share this information with 5 friends, family, and/or colleagues.

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

I will make 2 phone call(s) per day to a public official or company to advocate for planet-friendly policies.

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

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.

Using the action resource links below, my family will spend 60 minutes learning about environmental justice, causes of environmental injustice, and how plastic waste disproportionately impacts already vulnerable communities.
