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

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 make  2 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

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

I will avoid 1 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.
