What can I do from home or in my community?

Reduce single-use plastic
Reduce or eliminate entirely your use of single-use plastics and replace with reusable items, especially bags, beverage containers, straws, utensils, and takeout containers.

Participate in river or beach cleanups
Collect and properly dispose of plastic and other trash from a river or beach in your community. Join an event hosted by another organization, or organize one yourself.

Support local legislation
Urge the lawmakers of your city, state, province and country to ban single-use plastic items, and support greater accountability for the production and management of plastic products and waste.
