Ray Klahr

I will use a menstrual cup and/or cloth pads instead of a disposable option.

I will replace 2 plastic toothbrushes in my household with recycled plastic, wood or bamboo toothbrushes.

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 3 of my household members.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

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

I will learn about extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies for packaging and share my position with the legislators who represent me.

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.
