Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Learn About & Practice Sustainable Fashion

How can you express your personality, creativity, and values in ways that don't require fast fashion or buying more clothes and accessories?

Estefan Fiallo 5/22/2024 2:49 PM

Just by being myself. I'm not the type of person who thinks so much about what I wear. I like people because they're nice, not because of their fashion.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Prevent Recycling Contamination

What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

Estefan Fiallo 5/22/2024 2:23 PM

I thought that my community didn't accept certain plastics and glass bottles, but today I found out that they accept these now. I don't know since when, and my family has been taking glass bottles to a store that accepts them. LOL!

REFLECTION QUESTION
Waste Use Reusable Bags

What do you do if you find yourself in the situation of needing a bag for items but don't have a reusable one with you or aren't allowed to use the one you brought? Carry things out in your hands? In a cart? Accept a disposable one? If you find yourself in this position often, what system could you put in place to try to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags?

Estefan Fiallo 5/22/2024 2:07 PM

I would carry things out with my hands. A good practice to create a successful habit of not using plastic bags would be using a reusable bag when shopping to put my purchased items in. I carry it with me so that I am reminded to use it.
