Tay Marier

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.

I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

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

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

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

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 buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 2 products from the bulk section using my own containers.
