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

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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

I will make  4 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 wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

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

I will avoid sending 4 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.
