Silvia Abel-Caines

I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of trees and plants in my yard.

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

I will spend at least 4 minutes learning how to properly dispose of my refrigerator, freezer, and other refrigerants at the end of their useful lives.

I will reduce the amount of water flushed and save up to 11 gallons (41 L) of water per day by installing a toilet tank bank.

I will avoid buying toxic plastics, including polycarbonate, polystyrene and polyvinyl and instead replace them with bioplastic or durable options.
