Ana de la Torre

I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.

I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.

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

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 2 plastic bags per day by bringing them to a drop-off.
