Emily Hancharenko

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

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