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

I will use a restaurant's deposit system for reusable cups and/or takeout containers.

I will reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags instead of buying new bags to line my trash containers.

I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic or spandex.

MNimize works to reduce single-use plastic at food service businesses. I will visit a participating location or tell a business I frequent about the resources available to them.

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.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

I will recycle 5 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.
