I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 30 minutes researching and recycling all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will collect all of my unrecyclable, non-compostable trash to raise my awareness of how much I send to the landfill.

I will save up to 20 gallons (75 L) of water each day by taking 5-minute showers.

I will save up to 8 gallons (30 L) of water each day by turning it off while brushing my teeth.

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