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

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 provide daily plastic-free alternatives (straws, water bottles, cutlery, bar soap, bamboo toothbrushes, etc.) for my family to use.

I will reuse items for back to school or shop secondhand before buying new.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

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