    We went out to eat today at a place usually fill a small plastic cup with soy sauce. I picked it up, put it down, put the soy sauce on my sushi directly.

    For work we were all given a clear plastic bag to use at a stadium you couldn't bring other bags to. My wife found a perfect reuse for it to hold items that needed a long term home.

    We had a power sweeper stop working at home today. I can't check off that I fixed it yet. But I plan on doing it in the next few days.

    I cleaned up some random plastic pieces from the ground today and saved two plastic bags from being used.

    Very sad moment today finding a stack of plastic cups with coffee grounds on the outside. They didn't even get to live their life.

    Lead the Way: Shape Your Community
    What skill did you teach or learn, and how might it help you or someone else keep something in use longer? How did it feel to share or learn this skill?

    My drip system for my sustainable natural planter wall started not working, and my plants were dying off. Rather than buying a new system, I went to the local nursery and had them teach me how to repurpose other parts to actually fix the drip system and I did! Now I don’t have to rely on anybody else if any issues arise with it further.

    First Steps: Start with You
    What do you think the confusion around plastic labels says about our waste systems — and how could they be improved? What role do you think clear labeling should play in helping people make better choices — and who should be responsible for that?

    Need to avoid 4, 6, and 7 symbols as those are more difficult to recycle. By avoiding purchasing these, manufactures will be forced to look at other plastic options that are more favorable to recycle.

    What patterns did you notice in your plastic use — and what would it take to shift one of them?

    I need to purchase a water filter for my faucet to avoid using single use bottles at home.

    I visited a couple recycling facilities on YouTube today. They are incredible places! I learned that recycling some of the wrong things can not only contaminate other things, but also put workers in danger. There are plenty of people hand sorting throughout the process.
