I will spend 15 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 read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

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

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

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

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

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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