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

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 prepare 2 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items.
