Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 5 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 5 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 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.
