While convenient, single-use plastics often end up as litter and endanger wildlife and their habitats. This summer, we want you to be… plastic free! Let’s all cut back on single-use plastics.

Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Choose reusable utensils over plastic ones at your picnic.
- Party time? Pass on the balloons and try out wildflower seed bombs – or opt for bubbles!
- Rethink your drink. Bring a reusable bottle or straw.
- Dine in at your favorite coffee shop or take it to go in a reusable cup.
- Bring reusable bags to the grocery store for your produce and other groceries
