Mary's actions
Simplicity
De-Clutter My Home
I will de-clutter, clean, and donate or recycle unneeded items in my home.
Waste
Go Paperless
I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.
Waste
Choose Two-Sided Printing
I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.
Waste
Recycle Everything I Can
Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 60 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
Waste
Personal Waste Audit
I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

Mary Moerlins 10/02/2018 3:09 PMI'm excited to spend this year's eco challenge reducing my waste footprint, especially around paper and one time use food ware. It's easy to let convenience add up into bad habits and to continue to do the same process the same way. Breaking out of my normal day to day is the goal of this year's challenge.
