Contamination prevents what is recyclable from being recycled. I will spend 1 minutes researching which materials are accepted by local haulers or drop stations in my community and recycle only those items.

Cheap, single-use items and disposable packaging end up blowing around as litter more often in poor and POC-majority neighborhoods. I will find out how I can limit single-use items and do my best to limit the waste I generate.

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

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 1 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will avoid sending 1 disposable cup(s) to the landfill each day by using a reusable mug.

I will keep 2 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will enjoy 1 meal(s) each day free of processed foods.
