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

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

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

I will recycle my plastic containers at work, and if I can't find a recycling bin I'll bring the item home with me.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will avoid 4 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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