Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will enjoy 2 meatless meal(s) and/or 2 vegan meal(s) each day this week.
