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

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

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

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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.

I will prepare 2 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
