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

I will recycle 1 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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. 

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 avoid 1 plastic bags each shopping trip by not bagging my produce or using reusable produce bags.

I will use reusable containers when freezing food and opt for glass or metal when purchasing new containers.

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