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

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

I will keep 2 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

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 sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

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 cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.
