I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 3.4lbs (1.5kg) a month or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

    Really spending time exploring a trail we discovered at the back of our neighborhood.  Leads to a cool watering hole.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Go Paperless
    Reducing your paper mail can be such a freeing action to take -- by reducing what is coming in, you can reduce what is going into the recycling bin too. How does it make you feel? What is the next step you will take to reduce your waste?

    I'm only receiving digital correspondence for everything that I'm eligible for.  I'm also avoiding printing most items in work and personal when applicable

    Had a good day with a solid run today after a hard fought league game last night.  Burning calories and re-hydrating with my reusable water bottle.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Use a Reusable Water Bottle
    While water bottles are needed for health and safety in certain places, we can do more to reduce the unnecessary use of them. What are the barriers to you using reusable bottles and tap water instead of bottled water? How could you make this a permanent habit?

    Back on track after a busy few days...made the kids place the recycle in the bin this past week so they are aware of what can and can't be recycled.  Our bin is always overflowing compared to the "trash" bin

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Waste Choose Two-Sided Printing
    Choosing two-sided printing can be an easy adjustment on your computer settings. How can you help others make this same switch? Can it be encouraged company wide?

    When line sheets are requested by my Partners, I always have our friends at the UPS Store print double sided.  I also create my own line sheet that reduces the number of pages used.

  • 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?

    Lance Andrews 10/03/2019 2:09 PM
    I've been told that the majority of the recycle placed in the bin actually makes it to the landfill.  Can this be true?!?  The horror....
