You'll be an Plastic-Free Challenge expert in no time!
I will learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.
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.

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 plan an herb or vegetable garden for next year at my home, workplace, or community garden.
I will swap 1 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.
I will try a new recipe or food preparation method, such as canning, pickling, making yogurt, or baking granola bars or bread.
