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 delay replacing my smart phone for 3 years.

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

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will assemble an eating-out bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups and use it to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 1 meals each day.

I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

I will switch to compostable floss in a reusable container.

I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.
