I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

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

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

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

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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

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

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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