The numbers #1-7 on plastics tell us a lot - and can help us be better recyclers. I will learn what these numbers mean and which types of plastics are accepted for recycling in my area.

When possible, I will not use disposable bags when shopping, including produce bags.

I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

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

I will use wool dryer balls or another plastic-free alternative to dryer sheets to keep my clothes static-free.

I will hang-dry my laundry to use the sun as a natural bleach alternative, or use another natural bleach alternative.

I will only buy cloth, wooden or plant-based natural rubber toys. Or make our own toys from recycled items found in our home!

I will prepare my own pet treats to avoid plastic packaging.

I will not buy anything except items required for health and safety.

I will pick up 5 piece(s) of litter each day.
