consider a reusable cup sleeve.

today we will consider a reusable cup sleeve. WHY  Creating, recycling, & discarding paper cup sleeves = ghg emissions. We will reduce ghg emissions by using one reusable cup sleeve instead of many paper ones. HOW  We can consider reusable sleeves like these. Or, reuse disposable sleeves. Keep either in our bag and use it when needed. Reusable sleeve and cup is always best. Today's tip was inspired by subscriber Marie M..

choose hard over soft plastic.

today we will choose hard over soft plastic. WHY Softer plastics are not accepted at many recycling plants. Instead, most get discarded. We will reduce plastic waste by choosing hard over soft plastic. HOW When faced with a choice in products, and all choices come in plastic, we can choose the harder plastic. No plastic is always best, though. Subscriber Gwenyth J. added, "..put soap on a cleaning rag...[it] can then be used to wash many dishes" to yesterday's tip.

pool & dab dish soap.

today we will pour & dab dish soap. WHY Using excess soap means buying new packaging more often. And, more soap in waterways. We will reduce consumption & water pollution if we pour & dab dish soap.  HOW Instead of pouring dish soap onto each dirty dish, we can pour some on the counter alongside the sink. Then, dab our sponges in that for soap when we need it. todaywewillnewsletter.com | #todaywewill Today We Will 377 W11th St NY, NY 10014 Add us to your address book Want to change how you receive these emails?
