The plastics that negatively impact air quality. No matter what you're shopping for, try to choose items that have less packaging. For example, instead of choosing a box of individually-wrapped granola bars, try making your own at home or buying granola bars from a bakery where they don't come wrapped in foil. If that's not an option, go for the items that come in recyclable packaging.
• Take your own cloth shopping bag to the store instead of choosing paper or plastic.
• Shop in the bulk food section instead of buying individually packaged items.
• Buy loose, fresh produce instead of canned or frozen produce.
