I will only use reusable containers instead of single-use plastic storage items (such as plastic wrap, single-use sandwich bags).

Use a reusable cup for your Starbucks beverage.

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

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.

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.
