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

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 avoid 5 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

If traveling, I will reuse my old travel tubes to refill with my soaps or only bring bar soaps with me
