Most of us are aware of the benefits of reusable bags, but plastic is still a huge part of everyday life. Plastic is convenient and cheap, but it harms the environment and wildlife in countless ways. Not to mention the toxins we absorb when using it in the microwave or even to drink water.

Pledge to think before using plastic. Instead of plastic sandwich bags, use waxed paper bags. Instead of putting leftovers in plastic containers, save glass jars and use those. Or visit a vintage store and pick up some old Corningware dishes with glass covers. Stop buying bottled water and use a good filter to fill up a stainless steel water bottle. We've all contributed to the problem. Now we can contribute to the solution.
