REFUSE disposable plastic whenever and wherever possible. Carry your own bags, containers and utensils.

REUSE durable, non-toxic straws, utensils, to-go containers, bottles, bags, and other everyday items. Choose glass, paper, stainless steel, wood, ceramic and bamboo over plastic.

REDUCE your plastic footprint. Cut down on your consumption of goods that contain excessive plastic packaging and parts.

RECYCLE what you can’t refuse, reduce or reuse. Pay attention to the entire life cycle of items you bring into your life, from source to manufacturing to distribution to disposal.

"I pledge to say “no” to plastic bags and use reusable bags whenever possible. I will keep reusable bags in my car, backpack, and purse so that I have them when I need them. By doing so, I will help to stop plastic bag pollution at the source."
