I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

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

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

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

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

Plastics recycling is real, and it works in the Twin Cities metro area when done correctly. I will spend 20 minutes learning about how to correctly recycle plastics in the Twin Cities and where recycled plastics end up.

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 recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
