Ruth Merenda

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will spend at least 45 minutes learning how local indigenous tribes are caring for the land by attending a training, workshop, or presentation.

I will enjoy 2 meatless or vegan meal(s) each day of the challenge.

I will use smaller plates and/or serve smaller portions when dishing out food.
