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

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

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.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

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

I will avoid items marketed to first-time parents and instead use or refurbish items I already have or get them from friends or family.

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

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