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 complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

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

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

I will use deodorant that is a plastic-free bar, in a tin or a jar, or I will make my own.

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

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases, including produce bags.
