I will teach my little ones about microplastics while we do a craft project together using glitter alternatives.

I will swap out 1 prepackaged snacks a day for fresh fruits or veggies.

Reducing meat consumption has many benefits; it curtails greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and soil degradation. It will also save an enormous amount of land, water use and will increase biodiversity.

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

I will recycle used contact lenses and packaging.

I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors.

I will talk to the owner or manager of a restaurant I frequent to request that they reduce their use of single-use and disposable plastics.

I will prepare meals at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

Join WashU Sustainability Staff July 20th from 12pm – 1pm to learn more about how single-use plastics are used in research and healthcare and how you can begin to reduce plastic use in your lab or practice.
