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

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

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and reusable containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will reuse items for back to school or shop secondhand before buying new.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

I will ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will skip eating out and bring a lunch from home in reusable containers.
