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

Instead of trashing them, I will recycle 5 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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