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 avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will cook 1 meal(s) with zero-waste each day

I will plant 1 tree(s) in my community, public parks, or backyard.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will replace my lawn with a drought-tolerant landscape and save the water, money, and time I used to spend cutting the grass.

I will research the social or environmental issues in my community that matter to me and tell 1 friends and/or colleagues each day about what I learn.
