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 reuse existing bags such as pet food bags, grocery bags, or online shopping bags to line my trash bins (or go without plastic liners) and offset using as many new bags as possible.

I will call ahead to ask if I can bring my own garment bag to the dry cleaner or request no bag.

I will buy secondhand goods to reduce the demand for new plastic products and avoid packaging.

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.

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

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.
