I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags instead of buying any new bags to line my trash containers.
At Home
Plan a Garden
I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

Extend the Life of Electronics
