JENNIFER WILHELM

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

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

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

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

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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.
