When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

If traveling, I will bring my own snacks and meals in my own containers to avoid the waste of take-out containers.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and containers in my family's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

I will keep 1 plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

The chasing arrows symbol we associate with recycling doesn't always actually mean something is recyclable. I will spend at least 4 minutes learning the different meanings the symbol can have.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.
