I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

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

I will replace my pet's shampoo with a shampoo bar.

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

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

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

I will ditch zippered plastic bags and/or plastic wrap and switch to reusable containers or wrap for food storage.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex. Try prioritizing buying used clothing before buying new.
