I will ditch zippered plastic bags and/or plastic wrap and switch to reusable containers or wrap for food storage.

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

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will cut down the miles I drive to reduce microplastic shedding from tires. Alternatives include riding public transit, walking, biking, carpooling and combining trips.

I will spend 5 minutes educating my family on reasons to avoid plastic and how we will do it.
