The Illinois Sierra Club's Plastic Reduction Team created a one-page practical guide to small, individual actions that can help each of us make a difference. It includes ideas on how to reduce our need for plastic, replace plastic with other reusable products, and recycle what we can't refuse or replace. On the second page, you will find key facts about the damage plastics do and a list of resources to help you learn more. The guide is here.

Get started today and keep going!

If you are interested in contributing your time, energy and ideas to the Plastics Reduction Team, please contact co-Chair Tim Dever at tdever67@yahoo.com. Meetings are usually held bi-monthly on the third Wednesday, by Zoom, beginning at 6:00 pm.
