Emma's actions

Waste

Recycle Everything I Can

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.

    What is one food choice that you make, or could make, that would do more good and less harm?

    One food choice that I could make that would do more good and less harm is only eating food that is organic. I could also try to eat less meat.

  • 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?

    I can help others make the switch to double-sided printing by researching how many trees it would save and suggesting it to them.  It could be encouraged company wide if the boss tells all of their employees to use double-sided printing instead.

      Great idea...Let us know when you have researched the number of trees saved when a large organization switches to double sided printing.
