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 keep 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

As an extension to Comerica's National Day of Service in September, consider conducting a virtual volunteer action that supports our communities. Since there are no organized in-person river, beach or lake clean-ups in most communities this year, if you would like, you can consider cleaning up around your house and neighborhood to support your local environment as neighborhood storm drains commonly drain to local water bodies. Please do not invite others outside of your household if you choose this action.

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

I will watch 2 documentary(ies) about systemic racism.

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

Turn down the air conditioning/heat when not at home

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.
