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

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 call ahead to ask if I can bring my own garment bag to the dry cleaner or request no bag.

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

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

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

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

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

I will recycle my plastic containers at work, and if I can't find a recycling bin I'll bring the item home with me.
