I will provide daily plastic-free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cutlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.
