I will recycle 3 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

I will replace dryer sheets with a reusable alternative or use nothing at all.

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

I will make  2 of my own cleaning products (cleaners, detergents, soaps) instead of buying them in new spray bottles each time.

I will purchase toothpaste powder or toothpaste tabs in plastic-free packaging.

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

I will make sure any BPI-certified compostable plastic products I use will be disposed of correctly by putting them in my curbside compost/food scraps bin or taking them to a drop-off location and not placing them in the regular recycling.

I will swap 5 prepackaged snacks for unpackaged fruits or veggies or homemade or bulk items each time we need more.

I will prepare 3 meal(s) at home each day without using any items packaged in single-use plastic.

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.
