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

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

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

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me in a TSA-approved reusable quart-sized bag.

When I need to replace my dish soap, I will switch to a bar or refillable option.

I will spend 90 minutes learning about the costs of fast fashion and begin trying to practice sustainable fashion in my own life.

Because many tea bags and most sleeves and sachets contain plastic, I will switch to using loose leaf tea.

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

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

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

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
