I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.

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 replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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

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

I will recycle my plastic containers at work, and if I can't find a recycling bin I'll bring the item home with me.

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads instead of a disposable option.

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 buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will avoid 3 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.
