When options exist, I will opt for products packaged in metal, glass or paper vs plastic. Examples: Soda / drinks, spaghetti sauce, orange juice

I will avoid 1 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

I will pick up 3 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
