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 conduct a waste audit - including recyclables and compost - to understand how much waste I create and where I can reduce the most.

I will replace 5 plastic bottles with glass or stainless steel alternatives.

I will calculate my ecological footprint, and from the results brainstorm and take action on ways I can reduce my annual footprint.
