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

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 replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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

I will avoid 2 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

Plastics recycling is real, and it works in the Twin Cities metro area when done correctly. I will spend 10 minutes learning about how to correctly recycle plastics in the Twin Cities and where recycled plastics end up.

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

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup
