Chris Kellogg

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

I will support the sharing economy by joining a community tool exchange, toy library, or buy nothing group.

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

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 spend 2 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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

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

I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers.
