Doral Sustainable  #1

1) Reduce, Reuse and Recycle presented by Don Clean.

1. Reduce Consumption: 

✅ Opt for products with minimal packaging or items that can be refilled/reused. 

✅ Choose durable goods over disposable ones to reduce overall consumption.
✅ Instead of disposable plastic 💧bottle, opt for a stainless steel or glass water bottle that you can refill multiple times. 

These durable bottles can last for years, reducing the need for single-use plastic and saving money in the long run.
2. Reuse Items: 

✅ Give items a second life by repurposing them for different uses (use old jars as storage containers).
3. Recycle Properly: 

✅ Sort recyclable materials correctly and follow local ♻️ recycling guidelines.
4. Support Recycling Programs: Encourage and participate in community recycling initiatives.
5. Educate Others: Spread awareness about the importance of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and share tips on how individuals can incorporate these practices into their daily lives.

2) Reusable Bag Program: presented by Plumita y su bolsita

1. Retailer Incentive Programs: Many retailers implement reusable bag programs by offering incentives to customers who bring their own reusable bags for shopping. 

✅ For example, customers may receive discounts💲discount on their purchases, loyalty points, or other rewards for using reusable bags instead of single-use plastic bags. These programs encourage behavior change by rewarding environmentally friendly practices and reducing reliance on disposable bags.

2. Community Distribution Programs: Some communities organize reusable bag 👜 programs to provide residents with free or subsidized reusable bags. 

✅Local governments, environmental organizations, or businesses may collaborate to distribute reusable bags at community events, farmers' markets, or retail locations. These programs aim to increase access to reusable bags and promote their use as an alternative to single-use plastic bags, thereby reducing plastic waste. 

3. Educational Campaigns and Outreach: these campaigns play a crucial role in promoting the adoption of reusable bags and raising awareness about the environmental impacts of single-use plastic bags. 

✅Reusable bag programs often include public outreach efforts such as workshops, seminars, social media campaigns, and informational materials distributed to schools, businesses, and community organizations.
