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

I will pick up 6 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.

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

Instead of purchasing those crappy grocery bags I will make my own. My goal is to make 5 reusable bags out of old tee-shirts and the empty large cat litter bags. When those 5 are finishes I'll continue to make these bags as I feel needed

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

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

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 2 of my household members.
