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

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.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will recycle 6 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will give up gum or choose gum made from chicle or other plastic-free gum bases.

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