Eliminate Single-Use Plastic Bags

Action of the Month for APRIL:

Eliminate using single-use plastic bags for shopping.
​Replace with reusable bags that you bring with you.
 
Advanced actions:

• Eliminate using other single-use plastics, such as individual bottled waters, plastic straws, and plastic food utensils. Replace them with reusable non-plastic alternatives.
• Consider single-use plastic packaging of products for sale. Are there alternatives that you can purchase that use less or no plastic packaging?
• Advocate for water refill stations where you work.
