I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.

I will avoid using disposable decorations, such as balloons and plastic table coverings, for special occasions.

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

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

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