Contamination makes the recycling process more difficult. I will review which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my county and recycle only those items. 

I will plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.

The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn more about what the symbols on plastics mean.

I will ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will read through the three emails each week to learn more about plastic and get ideas on how to use less.

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and reusable containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.
