I will switch to plastic-free floss in a reusable container.

I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging.

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will skip eating out and bring a lunch from home in reusable containers.

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

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 continue to use paper lunch bags for scooped cat litter clumps. I will continue to put many of these bags in a paper grocery bag and then in the trash bin.
