I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers or I will bring my own reusable container to take home leftovers.

I will swap 5 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

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

Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items. 

I will replace my synthetic loofah with a natural loofah or wash cloth.

I will avoid 10 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will make  1 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

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