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

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads instead of a disposable option.

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

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).
