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 5 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.
