My name is Colin, also known as trash Colin.

Did you know that only about 9% of plastic waste gets recycled?

That's because recycling is not always intuitive.

A lot of us are wish-cycling, which is when you toss something into the recycling bin,

hoping it'll get recycled.

It's good intention, but unfortunately, it's not that simple.

Like plastic bags, they can be recycled, but not when they're mixed in with other recyclables.

They can clog sorting machines and cause an entire batch of recyclables to end up in the

landfill.

So a little bit of research goes a long way.

Look up your city's recycling program to find out what they can take and make a plan for

items they can't.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the plastic crisis.

What keeps me hopeful is taking small actions every single day, knowing that those actions

add up.
