"Plastics contain chemicals harmful our health, they contribute to climate change while polluting our air and water. I will work daily to to eliminate plastic from our environment."
I will daily post on social media plastic-free ideas
I will research and write a blog about plastic in the food we eat. Make an effort to eliminate plastic in the food my family eats.
I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
I will send in a box of Brita filters to be recycled.
I will pick up 1 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.
Lots of products come in #7 plastic. Often there is not an alternate way to purchase. Bob's Red Mill is a good example
The tortillas I eat come in plastic bags that are not recyclable
I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.
I will ditch the sponge and use a reusable or compostable option such as a brush, scrubber or dishrag instead.
I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.
