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

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

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

Instead of traveling by plane, I will find an alternative way to accomplish the goals of an upcoming trip (i.e. telepresence, vacation locally).

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend at least minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.
