You'll be an 2019 People's Ecochallenge expert in no time!
"I have been a longtime recycling maven - since I lived in LA and even wrote a Country/Western tune: Trash, as part of a TV show character's hobby. I am not exactly militant but rather quietly dedicated to doing what I can to diminish my footprint."
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 not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
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 avoid sending 5 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.
I will advocate for alternatives to single-use packaging at local grocery stores, markets, at work, or on campus.
I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.
