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 spend 1 minutes doing an activity where I'm both moving my body and enjoying myself.

I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.

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

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

I will spend 15 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

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 keep 1 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will spend 15 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.
