I will spend 2 minutes finding out where landfills and/or toxic waste sites are situated in my region and which communities are most impacted by these sites.

I will find out where to recycle the recyclable items that I can't put in recycling dumpsters or my curbside bin.

Plastic bags and small plastic pieces like straws are most likely to get swept into our waterways. I will keep 6 plastic straw(s) out of the landfill and ocean each day by refusing straws or using my own glass/metal straw.

I will spend at least 3 minutes learning about water and air quality issues in my area, how they are impacting human and environmental health, and how I can help.

I will switch to washing my clothes in cold water, saving up to 133 lbs of CO2 a month and 1,600 lbs of CO2 over the course of the next year.

properly disposing batters throughout your campus, and having the proper people/ tools to make sure your recycling the batter's properly

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