Keep these Valentine's waste reduction tips in mind! Overall, aim for gifts like consumables (like homemade food) or experiences (like event tickets). Consider skipping the wrapping, wrap gifts in recyclable material, or place them in reusable containers. #RecycleMI
Text in the center reads "Sustainable swaps for Valentine's Day." The Recycle, MI logo is in the bottom right corner of each slide. Text reads "Swap candy bars wrapped in unrecyclable packaging with homemade goodies stored in reusable containers." Graphics on the right are of two opened chocolate bars next to an X. Below is a basket of baked goods next to a checkmark. Text reads "Swap themed trinkets and single-use gifts with tickets to fun experiences like concerts or cooking classes." Graphics on the right are of a heart box with a bow, a gift box with a bow, and heart sunglasses next to an X. Below is a concert ticket and a ticket with a chef's hat next to a checkmark. Text reads "Swap unrecyclable wrapping, like tissue paper, bows, or boxes with wax/glitter with reusable jars, scrap paper, or no wrapping at all.! Graphics on the right of a pink heart box with glitter alongside a bow and a ball of tissue paper next to an X. Below is a square of purple paper and a jar next to a checkmark.

The MI Healthy Climate Plan was released in 2020 by Michigan EGLE to build climate resilience. EGLE understands that recycling is a big part of sustainability, and that productive end-of-life management can reduce greenhouse gases, boost our economy, and prevent environmental contamination.
Text at the top reads “Recycling-related goals in the MI Healthy Climate Plan.” Below are four lines of text to the left of related graphics: Graphic of a bar graph and upward arrow paired with the text “Raise Michigan’s recycling rate to 45% (we’re halfway there at 23%!)” Graphic of an apple core and circling arrows paired with the text “Cut food waste in half by 2030, supported by composting efforts” Graphic of a dollar sign paired with the text “Expand on efforts like NextCycle to develop markets for recyclables” Graphic of a receptacle with a lid and a chasing arrows recycling symbol paired with the text “Require all state facilities to offer recycling services” Below the list is the MRC logo.
