    So far, the challenge has been difficult. I've found it difficult to accomplish everything I want to do in one day. Today I only had time for 3 out of my 5 personal actions. I think there will be some days where I'm not able to complete all 5, but I still think this will help me build better habits and learn more about my personal impact.
  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Recycle Everything I Can
    What have you learned about what is accepted by local haulers for recycling, what you can drop off or ship to certain places, and what is not recyclable in your area? What is the most difficult part of recycling for you?

    I can drop off glass at the East Recycling Center, and today I was able to collect glass bottles for an event at our house. However, I still need to learn more about aluminum. We recycle paper and plastic in our curbside bin.

      Try again, sorry.

      ALL METAL & ALUMINUM CANS: empty food and drink cans, empty aerosol cans, foils and trays.


      You can put all items in the cart together - no separation is required.

      You can recycle all metal and aluminum containers in your bin. Yay!

    I feel connected to community when we come together across lines of difference and discuss different perspectives of the same topic.
