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

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.

I will spend at least 60 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
