I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will limit my social media use to once each day reducing my daily use by 60 minute(s)

I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

I will learn about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided when I have to print documents.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend 20 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
