Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will take a 20-minute walk outside each day.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

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

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) cooked with organic ingredients each day.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

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