IDENTIFY AND COMMIT

Reflect on your food and drink storage, the type of cookware and utensils you use, the type of food and drink you buy, and how you clean your oven. 

Identify one thing you could change in each of these areas to reduce your exposure to harmful chemicals in the kitchen.

Commit to making those changes. Be specific. For example:

• How will you store your food and drink? 
• What do you need to do to make that change? 
• What type of cookware and utensils will you purchase, and where will you source them?

Think through the changes that are most important to you and devise a strategy to achieve them.
