Mary Jo Schaffhausen

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

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

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

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

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

I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.
