I will donate to supply a community with reproductive health supplies.

I will spend at least 25 minutes learning more about the need for family planning globally.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and BIPOC-majority neighborhoods. I will avoid buying and using 3 single-use plastics and instead replace them with durable options.

I will Practice the "5 Rs" — refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, and recycle — to reduce my waste more than I can with just recycling alone.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 3.3lbs (1.6kg) a month by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.
