I will swap 2 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

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

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.
