I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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 replace my disposable plastic razors with a steel safety razor.

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 1 plastic bags per day bringing them to a drop-off or special pickup

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

I will only pack reusable cutlery, drinkware and reusable containers in my children's lunches to reduce plastic waste.

Pick one room in your house and determine at least one thing you can switch out in that room from plastic based to plastic free. Report your work in daily reflections.
