I recycle most of my plastic. Some plastic that I reuse are plastic containers that takeout/delivery food is packaged in. I wash those out and save them to use at Easter and Christmas. I like to make cookies and candy, and the takeout food containers come in handy for gifting friends and family with my homemade goodies. I also wash out and reuse small containers that things like dressings come in; I use them to hold small amounts of paint when I am feeling artistic. They can be washed and reused numerous times.

Stop the bottled water consumption

Here in NYC I'm proud to say that we recycle most types of plastic, however, for some reason there are no recycling pick-ups in the poorer areas of the city. Why is that?

I generally recycle plastic bottles. I minimize my purchase of bottled water by using aluminum bottles designed for carrying water - that's better for the environment!!!

We recycle and reuse.
