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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

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 make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

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