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.

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

I will spend 20 minutes educating my family on reasons to avoid plastic and how we will do it.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polyvinyl, polystyrene and polycarbonate (#3,#6 and #7).

I will watch a documentary film about plastic waste with family and friends and talk about what we learned.

I will complete a plastic consumption calculator to learn about my plastic footprint.

Make tea or other flavored beverage (rather than single use bottled beverage) for my lunch 3 times per week.
