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

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

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

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

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.
