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 recycle 4 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 3 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

I will ditch the zippered plastic bags for food storage and switch to reusable containers.

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

I will skip eating out and bring a lunch from home in reusable containers.

I will recycle my plastic containers at work, and if I can't find a recycling bin I'll bring the item home with me.
