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.

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 replace my [item] with a reusable [item] in the bathroom (disposable cups, makeup wipes and soap dispensers, etc.).

Wipes don't break down in sewer systems, but create massive clogs. I will find alternatives to using disposable wipes. 

I will replace my soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and lotions with solid bars or refillable options.

I will give experiences instead of things for gifts.

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, or at work.
