I will sign up for a Master Recycler/Composter program in my area.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by 0.11lbs (0.05kg) a day or 41lbs (18.6kg) a year by opting into paperless billing, ending unwanted subscriptions and opting out of junk mail.

I will cut my car trip mileage by only taking necessary trips, and I will only use muscle-powered transportation for all other trips.

I will find out who in my city makes decisions that impact bike routes and express my support for better biking infrastructure.

I will set up a recycling center at my workplace or school.

I will spend at least 20 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will encourage my office to hold meetings virtually whenever possible instead of requiring travel.
