I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

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.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me 

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

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with solid bars or refillable options.

I will assemble and/or use a to-go bag with cloth napkins and reusable utensils, containers, and cups to avoid disposable to-go containers and cutlery for 1 of my household members.

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.
