I will adopt a "Needs Vs. Wants" approach and only buy things I need.

I will keep 6 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will install alternative energy systems, such as solar electric systems or solar water heaters.

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.
