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

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

I will use a reusable lint brush or vacuum to remove pet hair from clothes, carpets, and furniture.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads instead of a disposable option.

I will switch to compostable floss in a reusable container.
