I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

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 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 swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.
