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

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 ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 2 of my household members.

I will support the sharing economy by joining a community tool exchange, toy library, or buy nothing group.
