Mamie Harvey

I will write down three things every day that I am grateful for, or send one email every day thanking or praising someone.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend at least 10 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
