Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 90 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will avoid sending 10 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will commute by bike 20 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 12.79 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
