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

I will plan ahead to only use paper products made from post-consumer recycled paper for my home or office.

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 spend at least 30 minutes learning how to differentiate between sell by, use by, and best by dates.

I will spend at least 30 minutes watching videos and/or reading about the environmental benefits of silvopasture.

When they are available, I will purchase products made from bamboo instead of wood, plastic, or metal.

I will spend at least 30 minutes researching the impact of my diet to see how it contributes to deforestation.
