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

I will recycle all materials that are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community.

I will keep lights, electronics, and appliances turned off when not using them.

I will avoid sending .69 lbs (.31 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

I will only use reusable containers for my lunches at work or school.

I will keep 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and/or unsubscribing from catalogs.

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

I will power down my computer and monitor when not using it for more than 2 hours, saving up to (1.1) lbs of CO2 per day that I do this.

I will use a reusable bottle and stop purchasing bottled water, saving 1 disposable plastic bottle(s) a day.

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

I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.
