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

I will avoid 1 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will replace 1 plastic toothbrushes in my household with recycled plastic, wood or bamboo toothbrushes.

I will avoid using disposables, such as balloons, table covers and single-use favors as well as disposable plates, cups and utensils for special occasions.
