I will pick up 25 piece(s) of litter each day while following the CDC’s current guidelines for prevention of disease transfer.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Plastic bags can be mistaken for food by many wild animals. If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
