Purchase unpackaged/unwrapped chew treats from bulk/open bins at local shops.

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

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.

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes. 

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.
