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

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

I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

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

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 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 read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

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

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