Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 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 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace, dorm, or elsewhere on campus.

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

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about food sovereignty: the right of local peoples to control their own food systems including markets, ecological resources, food cultures and production methods.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
