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 complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

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 support the sharing economy by joining a community tool exchange, toy library, or buy nothing group.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 1 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

I will avoid 1 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will replace 1 plastic toothbrushes in my household with recycled plastic, wood or bamboo toothbrushes.

I will prepare 1 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.
