I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug or bringing my own collapsible cup.

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 keep 1 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

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

I will ditch plastic wrap and use reusable containers, lids or wraps instead.

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

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 recycle my plastic containers at work, and if I can't find a recycling bin I'll bring the item home with me.

I will cut single-use plastics out of my morning drink by switching to reusable coffee pods, tea infusers, and bulk beans or tea leaves.
