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.

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

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will research and recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community, making sure to not contaminate recyclables with non-recyclables.

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.

I will spend at least 25 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

I will spend 30 minutes learning about sustainable fashion and begin trying to practice it in my own life.

I will spend at least 30 minutes finding out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in my curbside bin.

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

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

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

I will use public transit 3 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 12.55 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.
