Kathie Walsh

I will wash my clothing in cold water and hang it to dry to reduce the amount of microplastic shedding and to prolong the life of my garments.

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

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

I will avoid 4 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

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