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

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

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 learn more about the issues with plastics by picking up one of the books recommended by Hennepin County Library.

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 1 of my household members.

I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers or I will bring my own reusable container to take home leftovers.

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with solid bars or refillable options.
