There are many people that would like to assist in reducing, reusing, and recycling.  Are we asking ourselves when considering to throw away the empty plastic bottle of water in the nearest trash or walk a little further to put in the recycling container?  What would you do?  There are habits we can mold from wanting to start with the small things first. Are we considering walking out of the store with a few items in our arms or are we  accepting another plastic bag?  Do you remember to bring plastic bag back to the store?  The small things.

• Plastics in the U.S. are made primarily (70 percent) from domestic natural gas.
• Plastic shopping bags and product wraps (known collectively as “plastic film”) are commonly recycled at the many collection programs offered through major grocery stores.
• Recycling one ton of plastic saves 7.4 cubic yards of landfill space.
• During Keep America Beautiful’s 2008 Great American Cleanup, volunteers recovered and recycled 189,000,000 PET (plastic) bottles that had been littered along highways, waterways and parks.
