I will spend at least 15 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 15 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.
