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. 

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 1 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

I will pick up 2 piece(s) of plastic litter each day and dispose of it responsibly.

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 watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

Each trip to the grocery store I will purchase 2 products from the bulk section using my own containers.

I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

I will recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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