Instead of my community throwing out cans and bottles, I will organize an empties drive to raise money and recycle.

I will keep 3 disposable plastic bottle(s) from entering the waste stream by using a reusable water bottle.

I will start a recycling program at my workplace or school. If a recycling program exists, I will advocate for ways to improve and expand it.

If at all possible, I will not accept any disposable bags when making purchases.

I will calculate the carbon emissions associated with my household and consider how different lifestyle choices could reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

I will use my spending power to reward companies leading in creating or purchasing green energy and incentivize others to invest more in green energy.

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

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 725 kgs of CO2 over the course of the next year.
