I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill per day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will use reusable dishes and silverware when eating at work.

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

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

Manufacturers want you to replace your phones every year. I will keep my phone for at least 3 years and make any necessary repairs or updates to keep it functioning as long as possible.

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 learn about what different descriptions and marketing terms mean when used on plastics.

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.
