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 recycle 2 plastic caps per day by placing them back on the plastic bottles before placing them in my recycling bin.

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

I will stop buying water and instead use water from the tap or invest in a water filter if water quality is a concern.

I will avoid using disposables, such as balloons, table covers and single-use favors as well as disposable plates, cups and utensils for special occasions.

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

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

I will replace my disposable cleaning wipes with a reusable brush or cloth.

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

I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
