## How to Calculate Plastic Reduction Impact

Reducing single-use plastics saves resources and prevents pollution.

### Average Item Weights

- Plastic bag: ~0.02 lbs (8 grams)
- Plastic bottle: ~0.03 lbs (14 grams)
- Food container: ~0.03 lbs (15 grams)

### Formula

**Items Reduced = Weekly Items * 52 * Reduction %**

**Weight Saved = Items * Average Weight**

Each pound of plastic prevented saves about 3 lbs CO2 and 0.2 gallons of oil.
