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 use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

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

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 avoid 2 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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

Change from throwing my compostable stuff in to my homemade compost bin to the compostable trash can from the city. I just need to get compostable bags.

Adding the compostable stuff to the compostable city trash can.
