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

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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

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.

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.

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

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