Tracy Gellatly

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

I will make  4 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

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

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will avoid 10 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will swap 6 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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