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.

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 minutes visiting a local dump/transfer station, material recovery facility, and/or landfill to learn about the waste stream.

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

I will avoid sending disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

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