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 swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

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

I will purchase secondhand water/food dishes, collars, or leashes, and other pet supplies.

I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.

I will make  2 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

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 keep 1 pieces of plastic cutlery out of the landfill per day by using my own reusable cutlery.

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