I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

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.

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 save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

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