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.

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

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.
