I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

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

I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.
