get our ice cream in a cone. 🍦

today we will get our ice cream in a cone. WHY Most ice cream cups aren't recyclable. They end up in landfills, releasing methane. And, require plastic spoons. We will reduce our impact with a cone instead. HOW Ask for our ice cream in a cone, when given the option. If it's ice cream at home, use reusable bowls and spoons. 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?

use a cooking spoon rest.

today we will use a cooking spoon rest. WHY Dirty spoons = dirty counters. Paper towels lead to methane in landfills. Sponges use water. We will reduce water waste and methane emissions by using a spoon rest. HOW When we're cooking with a spoon or other utensil, put a spoon holder on the counter. Place the utensil on that rather than the counter. A jar lid works as a rest too. 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?

avoid individually-wrapped items.

today we will avoid individually-wrapped items. WHY There are tens of thousands of tons of plastic in our oceans. Individual wrapping = more plastic. We will reduce pollution by avoiding individually-wrapped items. HOW Instead of getting one cookie, get a bag. Instead of a sugar packet, ask for a shaker or box. There's usually an alternative to single-wrapped items. Just ask. 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?

let the car go first. 🚘🚶🏃

today we will let the car go first. WHY When cars let pedestrians go first, they idle more. Polluting the air all the while. We will reduce air pollution (and climate change) by letting the car go first. HOW The next time we find ourselves in one of those moments when either we or a car could go first, wave the car forward with an assuring smile. Then walk. 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?
