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

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

I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 1 of my household members.

I will prep and pack healthy pureed snacks in reusable squeeze pouches instead of buying disposable plastic pouches.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and reusable containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

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

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

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

Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items. 

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