I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper each day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
