I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

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 2 container(s) out of the landfill each day.

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus to reduce pollution in the environment and in local communities.

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.

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