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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and ending unwanted subscriptions.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 4 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 6 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.
