TIP OF THE MONTH
Choose Plastic Free Can I avoid plastic packaging? Is it a non petroleum product? Are there alternatives? Can I reuse or repurpose what I already have? Do I need it? Choose Plastic Free wants to make Islanders think before they purchase.
When at all possible, reuse those paper and plastic bags. Find another purpose for plastic containers. If that is impossible, buy less of that product and consider buying something with less of no packaging. Shop for items that are packaged in highly recyclable materials.
