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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

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

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

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