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

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

I will switch to compostable floss in a reusable container.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

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 avoid 2 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will keep 1 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will visit a co-op or zero waste store to check out my local options for bulk products and plastic-free items.

I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging.

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.
