I will spend at least 2 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

I will carry all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash with me to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will spend at least 30 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 3 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
