Wei-Hsing Wang

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

I will visit my nearest farm to find out who produces my food, and will learn about the quality of life of those who produce my food in other regions of the world to make better choices when I shop.

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

I will avoid sending up to .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill each day by composting my food or learning how to.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will enjoy 1 meatless meal(s) and/or 1 vegan meal(s) each day this week.

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.
