I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

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

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

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.

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

I will keep 1 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.
