I will ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

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 recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.
