I will use public transit 10 mile(s) each day and avoid sending up to 0.91 lbs of CO2 into Earth's atmosphere.

I will avoid sending 2 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 5 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

Historically, marginalized and low-income communities live closer to landfills, contributing to a multitude of health problems. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 10 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

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

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 reduce food waste and save money by planning a weekly menu, only buying the ingredients I need.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.
