I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those around the world who produce my food in order to make better choices when I shop.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will spend 30 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When they ingest plastic, marine life has a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 5 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.
