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

I will spend 30 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

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.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes.
