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

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

I will switch to plastic-free floss in a reusable container.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.

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

I will spend 25 minutes educating my family on reasons to avoid plastic and how we will do it.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 2 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

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