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

I will use seaweed in a new recipe.

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

I will visit seafoodwatch.org and download the app to commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will complete a plastics audit to see where plastics show up in my life and determine how I can reduce the use of single-use plastics.
