I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will keep 3 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

Throughout its life cycle, polystyrene (styrofoam) can harm people, communities, and the planet. I will refuse styrofoam whenever I can.

I will borrow toys for my kids instead of buying new or used.

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).
