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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers or I will bring my own reusable container to take home leftovers.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or at work.

I will cut down the miles I drive to reduce microplastic shedding from tires. Alternatives include riding public transit, walking, biking, carpooling and combining trips.

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