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

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 ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

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

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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