I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will swap 3 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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

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 complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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