I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

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 spend 15 minutes conducting a waste audit- including recyclables and compost- to understand how much plastic waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will purchase bulk cat litter where I can refill and keep using the same container.

Plastics recycling is real, and it works in the Twin Cities metro area when done correctly. I will spend 10 minutes learning about how to correctly recycle plastics in the Twin Cities and where recycled plastics end up.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup
